An impressive legal issues survey.

When might a literary or artistic work be legally defined aspornographic and without social value? In the 1930s Joyce's Ulyssesreceived such a definition by the Supreme Court: today it is a recognized work of art. This surveys thirteen obscenity and pornography decisions spanning over 40 years, making for an excellent legal reference to the process of defining pornography. An impressive compendium and highly recommended for personal, professional, and academic library collections.
