Censorship and the Permissive Society: British Cinema and Theatre, 1955-1965 by Anthony Aldgate PDF
Stage or film presentations of Look Back in Anger , A Taste of Honey , Saturday Night and Sunday Morning , Alfie , and Darling were much changed, even transformed, by censorship between 1955-1965. Indeed, censorship altered the progression of the artistic and creative renaissance of the period, and John Osborne, Shelagh Delaney, Alan Sillitoe, Tony Richardson, Lindsay Anderson, and John Schlesinger are just a few of the people who were forced to change their work.
Censorship and the Permissive Society explores the predicament writers and directors faced, and highlights the debate over the liberalizing or progressive aspects of the sea changes affecting British society at the time.
