Abstract:
Of all the figures in the struggle over turn-of-the-century vice reform, Anthony Comstock is perhaps the last one might expect to encounter immortalized in the nude. He acquired his fame as a censor of nudity, among other offenses: from 1873 to his death in 1915, Assistant United States Postmaster Comstock lent his name and his enthusiasm for law enforcement to the prosecution of the “Comstock Laws,” the eponymous statutes which restricted the dissemination of vicious images and information through the United States mail. In his government post and as the head of New York City's private Societ

Abstract:
Since Reconstruction there has always been an antipornography movement in the United States. From the heyday of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice in the 1880s, to the debates over the Hays code in Hollywood in the 1930s, to the founding of Women Against Pornography in 1979, our society has consistently struggled to resolve two crucial and interrelated questions: First, does pornography incite people to behave in “antisocial” ways or to commit crimes against individuals and society? Second, should the state regulate or censor materials it regards as obscene or pornographic? These

Abstract:
Although rural leisure in the half-century before the First World War is an under-researched subject, its most striking features seem to have been (at least according to the existing historiography) that it was dominated by the gentry and clergy, and restricted both in scope and quantity. The robust rural popular culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries had come under increasing pressure from gentry and clerical attempts to reform and sanitise it, initially through evangelical organisations such as the Society for the Suppression of Vice in the 1790s, but by the 1840s on a

Abstract:
For most historians, William Wilberforce is not immediately associated with the history of capital punishment, at least not beyond his occasional efforts to solicit mercy for individuals sentenced to death, and his distinctly subaltern role in the decisive early nineteenth century parliamentary debates over the abolition of the death penalty in England. Most scholars concern themselves with the first of the two “great objects” of which, in a diary entry for October 28, 1787, Wilberforce declared that “God Almighty has set before me … the suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of ma

Abstract:
Vascular calcification (VC) has a high incidence in patients with chronic kidney disease, which is a worldwide public health problem and presents a heavy burden to society. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, the active subunit of HIF-1, has been reported to play a vital role in high phosphate-induced VC. However, the underlying mechanism is still undetermined, and effective treatment is unavailable. In the present study, human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were cultured under normal or high phosphate media conditions. HIF-1α small interfering RNA and overexpression plasmids were employed

Ironically, for this very active individual, his heart had fully recovered from the earlier damage.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to decipher how feelings of belonging to a social or status group, as well as the social pressure of a given era, are able to influence legislation, its application and the impartiality of judges. The nineteenth-century in the United States is a period particularly illustrative of this phenomenon, as will be shown by the examples of law Comstock of 1873, its application by Anthony Comstock and the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, and the divergent verdicts in the cases of People v. Muller (1884) and People v. Knoedler.

Abstract:
This chapter first traces the gradual and growing challenges to late nineteenth-century Victorian standards in American public and private morality, specifically the increased printing and consumption of salacious literature. The chapter then examines the work of Anthony Comstock, the formation of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, and the 1873 passage of the Comstock Act, which limited the availability of obscene literature. In response to Comstock, an articulate and militant opposition emerged. This opposition came not from obscenity dealers but from proponents of liberal radi

Abstract:
After examining who supported the Society for the Suppression of Vice, this chapter explores why so many social leaders and prominent liberal ministers, usually recognized as leading social and cultural progressive voices in their particular fields, wholeheartedly supported the censorship activities of the Watch and Ward Society. Four key sources shaped the anti-vice reformers’ rationale for the censorship of obscene literature: liberal Protestant theology, nineteenth-century moral philosophy, the Whig-Republican view of the public role of religion in society, and their Victorian view of liter

Abstract:
James Joyce’s Ulysses was first published in New York in the Little Review between 1918 and 1920. What kind of reception did it have and how does the serial version of the text differ from the version most readers know, the iconic volume edition published in Paris in 1922 by Shakespeare and Company? Joyce prepared much of Ulysses for serial publication while resident in Zurich between 1915 and 1919. This original study, which is based on sustained archival research, goes behind the scenes in Zurich and New York to recover long-forgotten facts pertinent to the writing, reception, and interpreta

Abstract It is still not clear who was behind the prosecution of the two untiring freethinkers Charles Bradlaugh (1833—91) and Annie Besant (1847—1933) for publishing material on birth control methods. No government or public body was involved; it may have been the Society for the Suppression of Vice (founded in 1802). We have chosen to quote from one of the best selling weekly penny newspapers (circulation about 200,000). Its account is tame compared to some such as Reynolds’s Newspaper, but typical for that reason. The guilty verdict recorded below was later quashed (for technical reasons, n

Abstract:
The history of women’s reproductive rights in America is long and twisted, with many different branches and roots. The modern struggle, however, seems to have begun with the passage of the Comstock Act in 1873. Anthony Comstock (1844– 1915) was a U.S. postal inspector in New York, a fervent and activist Christian—some would call him a fanatic—and one of the leaders of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. Comstock, a Civil War veteran, was fixated on eliminating obscene literature and pornography, but his definition of these categories was unusually broad. He took aim at all manner

Abstract When Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap agreed with Ezra Pound that the Little Reviewshould undertake the serial publication of Ulysses,they fully expected their decision to result in the suppression of their magazine. They also believed Ulysseswas worth it; as Pound said, Ulysseswas “obscure, even obscene, as life itself is obscene in places, but an impassioned meditation on life.”1 For Anderson, Ulyssesembodied “direct opposition to the prevalent art values in America,” which she saw as the primary function of the Little Review,and at first she was committed to publishing Joyce’s work
