Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Brilliant and thoroughly grounded in archival material and historical context, this book is essential reading for scholars of Victorian and Modernist literature. Marshik's study is unquestionably a landmark contribution British literary studies and offers a new perspective that no previous book-length scholarly work has addressed." -Vara Neverow, Southern Connecticut State University, Woolf Studies Annual "British Modernism and Censorship, Celia Marshik's welcome 'recovery effort' (203), not only fills a gap in modernist studies, but also lays new groundwork for many significant conversations. With current concerns regarding an international slave trade, varied fundamentalist movements, continuing censorship issues related to publishing, art displays, free speech, and the increasing corporate control of the media, these new conversations--stimulated by Marshik's excellent study-- will surely begin." Virginia Woolf Miscellany, Judith Allen, University of Pennsylvania Read more...
