Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds

Large collection of profiles of different works of literature, including Grace Metalious' "Peyton Place." From Infobase Publishing: "'Literature Suppressed on Religious Grounds, Revised Edition' profiles the censorship of many such essential works of literature. The entries new to this edition include extensive coverage of the Harry Potter series, which has been frequently banned in the United States on the grounds that it promotes witchcraft, as well as entries on two popular textbook series, 'The Witches,' by Roald Dahl, 'Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran,' and more. Also included are updates to such entries as 'The Satanic Verses' by Salman Rushdie and 'On the Origin of Species,' by Charles Darwin."
