Censorship in Australia - The Ca Lamell

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: -, University of Melbourne, course: Publishing and Communications, language: English, abstract: An exploration into literary censorship in Australia using the infamous Lady Chatterley's Lover as case study. While this novel may seem relatively inoffensive by today's standards, Lady Chatterley's Lover must be considered within the context of the puritanical Australia of the 1920s-1960s. At this time, Australia had the strictest censorship of any democratic nation.
