Thoroughly researched, the book explains historically why the publication of \u003ci\u003eDon Juan\u003c\/i\u003e was so controversial and why it met with such fervid resistance. Chronologically following the 6-part publication of the 16 completed cantos, the author investigates the material that was considered for censorship and Byron's fiery epistolary responses to those structures. In its broadest context, this work shows that Byron's battle with the censors was not just so much \u003ci\u003ebraggadocio\u003c\/i\u003e from the world-famous poet but an integral part of his lifelong struggle for freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prof Robinson Blann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820414379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820414379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Prof Robinson Blann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082574668031,"sku":"9780820414379","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/throwing-the-scabbard-away-prof-robinson-blann-9780820414379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
