Watson Nicholson Libri

In this book, Nicholson chronicles the fight for artistic freedom in the London theatre world during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He discusses the censorship of plays, the licensing of theatres, and the role of the Lord Chamberlain in regulating the industry. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in theatre history or the politics of censorship.

A fascinating look at the historical context and sources that inspired Daniel Defoe's classic novel, Journal of the Plague Year.
