He situates modernism in the context of this censorship, examining the relations between such authors as D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Radclyffe Hall, and Virginia Woolf and the public controversies generated by their fictional explorations of modern sexual themes. These authors located \"obscenity\" at the level of stylistic and formal experiment. \u003cem\u003eThe Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLady Chatterley's Lover\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eOrlando\u003c\/em\u003e dramatized problems of sexuality and expression in ways that subverted the moral, political, and aesthetic premises on which their censors operated. In showing how modernism evolved within a culture of censorship, \u003cem\u003eModernism and the Theater of Censorship\u003c\/em\u003e suggests that modern novelists, while shaped by their culture, attempted to reshape it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47591583580311,"sku":"9780195097023","price":10308.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195097023.webp?v=1774973716","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modernism-and-the-theater-of-censorship-9780195097023","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
