Description

Explore the historical roots of self-censorship with The Art of Veiled Speech, published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This collection of fourteen original essays, edited by Han Baltussen and Peter J. Davis, examines how individuals have shared dissenting opinions while attempting to avoid social, political, and criminal consequences. Moving beyond the common focus on early modern history, the contributors trace the practice of guarded speech from ancient Greek concepts like parrhesia and the Roman principle of libertas. By analyzing lesser-known texts across various historical periods, this book provides a deep look at the tension between free speech and the need for survival in public discourse. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of censorship and the evolution of political expression.
