Publisher's Synopsis
The four-volume Banned Books, Third Edition set offers an eye-opening look at works of literature that have been censored around the globe and throughout history. More than 40 new entries have been added, and the more than 450 existing entries have been updated to reflect recent controversies. Each clearly written, curriculum-oriented entry presents a publishing history, a summary of contents, and the record of censorship of a well-known, often classic, work. This fascinating set is an essential reference to the contents, contexts, and controversies of banned titles for students and teachers.
