Reviews

The essays in this volume perform a very broad sweep of pre-modern European centuries and provide an excellent corrective to the misconception that censorship, as we think of it, originated in the Early Modern period. The editors are well aware that they have taken on a vast subject, and their desire to treat it across such a wide swath and in so many different contexts is very bold. -Ralph M. Rosen, University of Pennsylvania
