Description

This book deals with the cultural and legal debates which have counterposed the right to free speech and the need to protect Christian sensibilities in Britain from the time of the French Revolution to the present day. It contains a close study of the content and public reception of the anti-Christian literature of the nineteenth century associated with the names G. W. Foote and J. W. Gott, the Freethinker and The Truth-seeker, as well as an informed analysis of attempts to extend and repeal the blasphemy law during this century.
