A Censured Play: The Breaking Point, With Preface And A Letter To The Censor (1907) is a book written by Edward Garnett. The book is about a play that was censored and banned by the authorities due to its controversial and sensitive subject matter. The play, titled The Breaking Point, deals with themes of infidelity, sexual desire, and the breakdown of marriage. The book includes a preface by Garnett, in which he discusses the censorship of the play and the reasons behind it. It also includes a letter to the censor, in which Garnett argues against the censorship and defends the artistic and social value of the play. The book is a fascinating insight into the censorship of art and literature in the early 20th century, and the struggles of artists and writers to express themselves freely in a restrictive and conservative society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
