Censorship in the Two Irelands 1922-1939

Censorship in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland from 1922 to 1939 reveals the complex dynamics of freedom of speech in both regions. The book explores the historical roots of censorship under British rule and the Irish Revolution, highlighting unexpected similarities between the two governments' approaches. It covers various forms of censorship—political, film, literature, radio, and theatre—while contextualizing these actions within international trends. The narrative addresses the treatment of Nationalist dissent, IRA propaganda, and the reaction to foreign cultural influences.
