Description

Explore a significant era of American legal history with this detailed study from Routledge. This book examines the impact of the 1873 Comstock Act, a law that banned materials deemed obscene from the mail without providing a clear definition. This ambiguity allowed courts to target literature reflecting new perspectives on religion, social institutions, and sexuality. The narrative follows the legal battles led by Dr. Edward Bliss Foote and his son, Dr. Edward Bond Foote. After being convicted for mailing a brochure on birth control, Dr. Foote Sr. spent four decades challenging these restrictions in Congress. This work provides a deep look into the anti-Comstock operations and the long fight to protect free speech in the United States during a period of intense social change.
