Dr. Bowdler's Legacy by Noel Perrin
A Miscellany of Men and Manners
A wry, scholarly examination of literary censorship and prudish editing that collects examples, anecdotes, and commentary to show how ‘‘bowdlerizing’’ texts alters meaning, reflects changing social mores, and diminishes the richness of language and culture; delivered with humor, historical detail, and a clear argument about the costs of sanitizing literature.
