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

By Nora Gilbert

Book Overview

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.
