ISBN: 9780804763592 / Angielski / Twarda / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych.

By awarding pre-publication and pre-distribution approvals, royal censors sought to insulate authors and publishers from the scandal of post-publication condemnation by parliaments, the police, or the Church. Less official authorizations were also awarded. Though censors did...
