The ability to read and express ourselves freely are staples of any democratic society. But, unfortunately, throughout history, governments, religious bodies, and other institutions have sought to limit these rights, most notably through the banning of books.
Books were banned for a variety of reasons, such as their perceived immorality, the promotion of religious ideals, and the inclusion of controversial topics.
Despite the efforts of authorities to keep certain books out of circulation, many of the most widely banned books of all time have endured over the years, even rising to become classics of literature and educational materials in the modern era.
This practice of censorship remains an ongoing battle for the expression of our First Amendment rights. However, in the age of modern technology, these censorship efforts have become increasingly difficult to enforce, and many previously banned books are now readily available for anyone to enjoy.
As a celebration of our right to read, we are taking a look back at the 10 most banned books of all time; in our quick-read 20-page guide, "The 10 Most Banned Books of All Time: Rediscovering Censored Classics. And, how they are now available with ease in 2023 and beyond
It is a quick, must-read for anyone interested in exploring formerly banned books.
