Prurient Interests - Gender, Democracy, and Obscenity in New York City, 1909-1945

Sommario

Riassunto

Exploring motion pictures, burlesque, and Broadway theater-three forms of entertainment that were regularly condemned by anti-obscenity activists in the early 1900s-Friedman shows how the struggle to define and regulate obscenity played out in New York before it was codified nationally by the U.S. Supreme Court.
