Han Baltussen (with Peter J. Davis), has edited The Art of Veiled Speech: Self-Censorship from Aristophanes to Hobbes (University of Pennsylvania Press) offering new insights into the historical origins of the self-censorship used to temper controversial views, and revealing that the human voice cannot easily be silenced. The contributions provide a corrective to the misconception that censorship, as we think of it, originated in the early modern period. The book will be launched at the University of Adelaide on 30 November.
