Product Description
Annabel Patterson explores the effects of censorship on both writing and reading in early modern England, drawing analogies and connections with France during the same time. The result is an original account of the interpretive and communicative systems we call culture. Patterson's work will interest anyone concerned with the relationship between art and politics. A new introduction by the author underscores the relevance of a historical perspective on censorship to contemporary culture.

The drive toward encryption. July 20, 2001
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a critical treatment of the relationship between author and authority in the society of early modern England. Patterson explores the delicate balance between the state's need to control writers and their need to communicate with a contemporary audience on subjects that may not meet with state approval. Her thesis is that the need for indirection, encoding and encryption are fundamental to the literary impulse. A very fine book - essential reading to all students of literature.
