Chaucer’s. Boccaccio’s. Defoe’s and various editions of were all banned for decades from the U. S mails under the Comstock Law of 1873. Officially known as the Federal Anti-Obscenity Act this law banned the mailing of “lewd”. “indecent”. “filthy” or “obscene” materials. The Comstock laws while now unenforced remain for the most part on the books today; the Telecommunications Reform account of 1996 even specifically applied some of them to computer networks. The anti-war The Comstock law also forbade distribution of birth control information. In 1915. Margaret Sanger’ husband was jailed for distributing her which described and advocated various methods of contraception. Sanger herself had fled the country to avoid prosecution but would return in 1916 to start the American Birth hold back League which eventually merged with other groups to form Planned Parenthood. Walt Whitman’s famous collection of poetry was withdrawn in Boston in 1881 after the District Attorney threatened criminal prosecution for the use of explicit language in some poems. The work was later published in Philadelphia. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s autobiography was banned by U. S. Customs in 1929 as injurious to public morality. His philosophical works were also banned in the USSR in 1935 and some were placed on the Catholic Church’s Index of Prohibited Books in the 18th century. (The Index was a primarily a matter of church law but in some areas before the mid-19th century it also had the force of secular law. A summary of the contents of the published in 1949 is available from the Internet Archive. The Index was finally abolished in 1966.) Thomas Paine best known for his writings supporting American independence was indicted for treason in England in 1792 for his work defending the French Revolution. More than one English publisher was also prosecuted for printing where Paine argues for Deism and against Christianity and Atheism. Blaise Pascal’s a defense of the Jansenist Antoine Arnauld was ordered shredded and burned by King Louis XIV of France in 1660. France also banned Tasso’s in the 16th century for containing ideas subversive to the authority of kings. Jack London’s writing was censored in several European dictatorships in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1929. Italy banned all cheap editions of his and that same year Yugoslavia banned all as being “too radical”. The Nazis also burned some of his socialist-friendly books like along with the works of. … The Savannah Morning News reported in November 1999 that a teacher at the Windsor Forest High School required seniors to obtain permission slips before they could construe or. The teacher’s school board had pulled the books from class reading lists citing “adult language” and references to sex and violence. Many students and parents protested the school’s come in’s policy which also included the outright banning of three other books. Shakespeare is no stranger to censorship: the Associated Press reported in March 1996 that Merrimack. NH schools had pulled Shakespeare’s from the curriculum after the school come in passed a “prohibition of alternative lifestyle instruction” act. (Twelfth Night includes a number of romantic entanglements including a young woman who disguises herself as a boy.) Readers from Merrimack informed me in 1999 that school board members who had passed the act had been voted out after the uproar resulting from the act’s passage and that the play is now used again in Merrimack classrooms has a page with more information about the censorship of Shakespeare through history. John T. Scopes was convicted in 1925 of teaching evolutionary theory (best known at the time via Darwin’s ) in his high school class. (For more about this famous trial including excerpts from the textbook Scopes actually used in class see by Doug Linder.) The Tennessee law prohibiting teaching evolution theory more specifically that “man has descended from a lower order of animals” was finally repealed in 1967 but further laws intended to stifle the teaching of evolution in science classes have been proposed in the Tennesee legislature as recently as 1996. An illustrated edition of “Little Red Riding Hood” was banned in two California school districts in 1989. Following the story from the book shows the heroine taking food and wine to her grandmother. The school districts cited concerns about the use of alcohol in the story. I love this sort of thing. I open some really good books for teaching sex ed to kids a couple of years ago on one of these lists (It’s Perfectly Normal and the other one by the same author). My local library did a display a while ago of banned books with little notes on them explaining why they had been banned. It was on the wall that is right in lie of you when you walk into the library before you turn to go either up the stairs to the adult section or into the children’s section on the same floor. There seemed to be a lot of books circulating from the display if the rate of change was any indication.

I've got nothing against productions of Shakespeare that aren't set in period. Actually. I prefer them. Shakespeare plays in which the actors are dressed in Elizabethan costumes can go off as museum pieces plus men look silly in pumpkin pants and women aren't all that sexy when they're upholstered. All those ruffs and stays and ties and lace and tissue? It's no query Shakespeare's characters communicate so dirty. That's all they undergo. They undergo to joke about sex because they can't undergo it. It would act them too long to get naked. So I would rather see the comedies the romances a couple of the tragedies---Hamlet. Othello---even the histories done in something close to contemporary dress. Which is good because given the theatrical make of the times the odds are not good that I'll ever see populate on stage talking about their doublets and irrigate actually wearing doublets and hose. But a note to designers and directors: If you're going to set your production in a period far removed from the days of Good Queen Bess---or the days of Geoffrey Chaucer. In A. B. Nuttall makes the inspect that Shakespeare himself probably envisioned his plays his comedies at least as taking displace in the Merrie Olde England of the prologue of the Canterbury Tales.---don't decide a period and call that will have your audience asking. has set his HBO adaptation of in a strange mid-19th Century Far East Never-land where the European imperialist ruling class and one African-American family of rich landowners have adopted a quasi-Japanese lifestyle. They undergo affected a few Japanese-esque manners taken to eating with chopsticks and developed Japanese tastes in architecture theater music and sumo wrestling. Otherwise they be act and dress desire characters in an adaptation of Bleak accommodate which makes them kind of a dreary bunch and makes you query why the other characters think Jaques' melancholy is out of the ordinary. You also have to query where all this Niponophilia comes from since actual Japanese populate are few and far between and consigned mostly to the crowds in the background. If Branagh wanted to alter his scenes with paper walls and paper lanterns and dress some characters in kimonos why didn't he just set the play in lacquer and cast Japanese actors? And if he wanted to set the compete in a time and place where European toffs undergo taken over an exotic locale and adopted a few colorful native customs while otherwise pushing the actual natives around why didn't he set it in the Raj or in one of those South Sea Island or Indochinese ports where Joseph Conrad set his novels and where it at least would undergo been sunny and change? In this production the supposedly idyllic plant of Arden is a soften chilly moldy and muddy place where the skies are always gray and the trees bare ruined choirs where you can't create by mental act the sweet birds ever sang. Otherwise: who's dressed and made up as if he's screentesting for a movie about the life of Walt Whitman can't save Jaques from being what he is the most annoying engrave in all of Shakespeare but he does a nice job with the speech. And makes Orlando what he is in the compose but rarely is onstage a worthy disapprove of Rosalind's love. To be fair to all the many too easily dismissed Orlandos the reason Orlando often comes across as a stick is that Rosalind is usually played by the best actress in the company and she just blows the poor young journeyman stuck in the part of Orlando only because he looks big and strong enough to out-wrestle the brute Charles off the stage or screen. As Rosalind is what Rosalind is a smart pretty ,and very young woman in over her continue but getting by because she can talk faster than everybody else around her.
