Better Left Unsaid. Victorian Novels, Hays Code Films, and the Benefits of Censorship, Paperback

Taking two narrative genres that are generally presumed to have been stymied by the censor's knife-the Victorian novel and classical Hollywood film-this book reveals the varied ways in which censorship, for all its blustery self-righteousness, can actually be good for sex, politics, feminism, and art.
