Présentation de l'éditeur
Anthony Comstock (18441915) was the self-styled guardian of the moral purity of youth, special agent of the Post Office Department, founder and leading spirit of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, and premier anti-vice crusader in American History. Comstock wrote Traps for the Young to publicize and justify his activities and methods, which, according to his critics, verged on entrapment. One clergyman described Comstock as a man whose work was displeasing to Satan and whose methods were displeasing to saints. In Traps for the Young he deals with the menace of "evil reading," presents a raid-by-raid account of his crusade against lottery and policy operations, and denounces all efforts to repeal or modify the anti-obscenity laws he lobbied for and succeeded in having enacted.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an alarming exposà of the pernicious and prevalent literature threatening American youth in the 19th century. Tracing the evolution of these materials from their crude origins in dime novels to their latest, vile incarnations, the author meticulously details their destructive power. The book argues that this literature actively debases children, filling their developing minds with lewd thoughts, criminality, and amorality. The author draws parallels between these works and broader cultural shifts, noting how the glorification of vice mirrors a decline in national morality. A passionate call to action, this book makes a powerful case for increased vigilance and decisive action to protect young minds from this dangerous scourge. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330099094_0
