Traps For the Young. Edited by Robert Bremner.
Author: Comstock, Anthony, 1844-1915. Bremner, Robert, editor.
Publisher: Belknap Press of Harvard UP, Cambridge, 1967. The John Harvard Library
xxxi, [1] p., 2 leaves, 262, [1] p., illus. The traps Comstock attacked so fiercely were first of all light literature (as a result of reading novels the mind is emptied of lofty aims and ambitions and the soul is shrivelled), daily newspapers, theaters (“the very sinks of hell'), rum & gambling, advertising, free-love, liberality, even prize-candy traps. Born in Connecticut, Comstock battled the “sewer mouth" of society in a 41-year anti-vice & anti-obscenity crusade — “One clergyman described Comstock as a man whose work was displeasing to Satan and whose methods were displeasing to saints." In this book, written to publicize his activities, he deals with the menace of “evil reading" and examines dangerous tendencies in “classics". Dj clipped; VG. Stock#20604.
Price: US$20.00. Quantity available: 1.
