 | The very clear expository prose of the articles explains the history and significance of each topic covered... Censorship, by virtue of its breadth and accessibility unseats Encyclopedia of Censorship (Facts on File 1990), and Free Expression and Censorship in America (Greenwood Press, 1997) as the reference source choice on this topic. |
