Sin, Sex, and Segregation in Lillian Smith’s Silent South Conclusion: Off the Page Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsA welcome and profound reassessment not only of American censorship issues, Literary Obscenities joins the current rethinking of modernist studies, particularly in terms of the paperback revolution and its long-term cultural impact. This welcome addition to the ongoing discourse in legal studies, book history, cultural studies, and the philosophy of modernism is cause for celebration. Bachman's well-researched, acutely insightful, accessibly written study will take its place alongside Marjorie Heins's Not in Front of the Children as a staple in university courses. -S. E.
