Описание: On January 15, 1903, South Carolina lieutenant governor James H. Tillman shot and killed Narciso G. Gonzales, editor of South Carolina�s most powerful newspaper, the State. Blaming Gonzales�s stinging editorials for his loss of the 1902 gubernatorial race, Tillman shot Gonzales to avenge the defeat and redeem his �honor� and his reputation as a man who took bold, masculine action in the face of an insult. James Lowell Underwood investigates the epic murder trial of Tillman to test whether biting editorials were a legitimate exercise of freedom of the press or an abuse that justified killing when camouflaged as self-defense. This clash�between the revered values of respect for human life and freedom of expression on the one hand and deeply engrained ideas about honor on the other�took place amid legal maneuvering and political posturing worthy of a major motion picture. One of the most innovative elements of Deadly Censorship is Underwood�s examination of homicide as a deterrent to public censure. He asks the question, �Can a man get away with murdering a political opponent?� Deadly Censorship is courtroom drama and a true story. Deadly Censorship is a painstaking recreation of an act of violence in front of the State House, the subsequent trial, and Tillman�s acquittal, which sent shock waves across the United States. A specialist on constitutional law, James Lowell Underwood has written the definitive examination of the court proceedings, the state�s complicated homicide laws, and the violent cult of personal honor that had undergirded South Carolina society since the colonial era.

Описание: Originally published in 1980, this was the first study to make use of the Lord Chamberlain`s files on English stage censorship. Dramatic censorship is shown to be a significant index of the Victorian age and the book fills an important gap in the knowledge and understanding not only of Victorian theatre, but of Victorian manners and attitudes.
