The book explores the interplay among legal and constitutional traditions, political and religious controversies, publishing practices, institutional logic and personalities, as these two deeply connected places worked through the implications of responsive democratic governance. Both places prized both good character and free expression, but courtrooms were far more often the site of these conflicts in Massachusetts. Professor Campbell's research on the defences of truth and privilege demonstrates the similarities and differences between these jurisdictions in how the tensions around assertions of legislative power and claims to individual conscience and expression played out. She explores the unfolding of legal and popular thought on acceptable justifications for publishing objectionable expression and the incentives institutions offered to draw participants, including women, into court or to keep them out"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Libel and slander $z Nova Scotia $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Libel and slander $z Massachusetts $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Libel and slander. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997162 651 7 $a Massachusetts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204307 651 7 $a Nova Scotia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206030 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Campbell, Lyndsay. $t Truth and privilege $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781009039406 $w (DLC) 2021041324 830 0 $a Studies in legal history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717014818.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD47D932AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
