The Book Hive is pleased to offer an event which forms part of the first Banned Books Week in the UK, organised by Index on Censorship. This is a hugely important—to say nothing of timely—focus on censorship and the denial of freedom of expression through the banning of books. The Book Hive is honoured to be part of its first outing this side of the Atlantic.

The event sees the co-authors Katherine Inglis and Matthew Fillion of their new book, Censored: A Literary History of Subversion and Control, in conversation with Deputy Editor of Index on Censorship magazine, Jemimah Steinfeld. A vital reminder that the freedom of speech has always been fragile and never enjoyed equally by all, Censored offers lessons from the past to guard against threats to literature in a new political era.
