Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the arguments against censorship from Ernest Boyd, challenging the very premise of literary restraint and obscenity laws. The author posits that there can be no objective definition of obscenity, making any attempt to censor literature, subjective, and therefore, potentially biased.
