Censorship of Caricature and the Theater in Nineteenth-Century France: An Overview
2012
Overview
Goldstein provides a brief summary of the current knowledge about censorship of caricature and of the theater in nineteenth-century France. These two topics are treated together because they were often lumped together by the authorities, and changes in their regulations often were handed down at about the same time, or even in the same legislation. This was especially apparent in 1835 when censorship of both drawings and drama, which had been abolished with the success of the 1830 Revolution, was reinstated at the same time and in the same legislation (the notorious September laws), based on the same argument by Minister of Justice Jean-Charles Persil. Moreover, he gives a brief history of caricature and drama censorship in nineteenth-century France and underlines the reasons why they were so feared: they were considered as especially powerful means of communication; they were accessible to the illiterate; and they were often viewed collectively by crowds whom it was feared might take immediate action.
