Ernst. Ernst's clients included European and American literati and sexual activists, among them Margaret Sanger, James Joyce, and Alfred Kinsey. They, along with a cast of burlesque theater owners and bookstore clerks, had run afoul of strict obscenity laws, and became actors in Ernst's legal theater that ultimately forced the law to recognize people's right to freely consume media. In this book, Brett Gary recovers the critically neglected Ernst as the most important legal defender of literary expression and reproductive rights by the mid-twentieth century. Each chapter centers on one or more key trials from Ernst's career battling censorship and obscenity laws, using them to tell a broader story of cultural changes and conflicts around sex, morality, and free speech ideals. These trials sets the stage, legally and culturally, for the sexual revolution of the 1960s and beyond. In the latter half of the century, the courts had a powerful body of precedents, many owing to Ernst's courtroom successes, that recognized adult interests in sexuality, women's needs for reproductive control, and the legitimacy of sexual inquiry."-- $c Provided by the publisher 600 10 $a Ernst, Morris L. $q (Morris Leopold), $d 1888-1976. 600 17 $a Ernst, Morris L. $q (Morris Leopold), $d 1888-1976. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01433014 650 0 $a Trials (Obscenity) $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Trials (Obscenity) $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Obscenity (Law) $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Censorship $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sexual rights $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a LAW / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Censorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850568 650 7 $a Obscenity (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01042937 650 7 $a Sexual rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748883 650 7 $a Trials (Obscenity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156379 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Censorship. $2 homoit 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Gary, Brett. $t Dirty works. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2021. $z 9781503628694 $w (DLC) 2020052599 941 $a 3 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010543.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014148.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211218010642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E0659F20323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
