Abstract

sometimes s u p p r e s s e d to prevent "uncontrollable associations" of Nazism With Soviet Communism; and the conclusion that, b e c a u s e of the educative role allotted to Soviet literature, Communist characters suffered more from eensorship than did their enemies. Also welcome is the discussion of puritani- cal censorship a s well a s political. Yet all this having been said, one must admit that this is not an easy book to read. It is p e r h a p s more to be dipped into, checking on those authors one knows best: for there is such an a b u n d a n c e of detail (much necessarily repeti- tive} that I suspect few people will want to read it in its entirety - although, in all fairness, I have to say that I was often led into reading about works I did not know well, for here too there were s o m e fascinating details. However, an un- avoidable problem with the book's chronological structure - essential a s this may be to show the c e n s o r s h
