Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development and enactment of various libel laws and their effect on the press in England between 1789 and 1836. The author traces the legal history of libel, beginning with the Fox Libel Act of 1792, which attempted to clarify the law of seditious libel, and the Seditious Meetings Act of 1817, which restricted public meetings and contained provisions against blasphemous and seditious libel. The book also examines court cases involving blasphemy and sedition, and the author argues that the law was moulded by political and social factors. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the history of libel law and its impact on freedom of the press in England.
