Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines intellectual English drama, examining how radical plays critiquing modern life faced suppression by British censors during the early 20th century. The author analyzes several plays that led to debates on censorship around themes such as marriage, morality, and societal change. The author argues that suppression of these critical works hindered English drama's evolution, and champions the value of artistic independence in capturing the complexities of society.
