Description
Covers some of the major literary scandals of the twentieth century, involving obscenity trials, religious fatwas, censorship debates, hoaxes and public controversies. Explores such topics as the nature of censorship, particularly in relation to pornography; the ethics of 'hoaxology'; the responsibility of authors (to society or to art?); the relationship of literature to other forms of public discourse; the notion of literary 'taste'; and the implication of literature in the construction of ethical identities at an individual and social level.
