Der Einfluss der Zensur auf das geistige und politische Leben der Habsburgermonarchie im behandelten Zeitraum ist kaum zu überschätzen. Die Studie widmet sich den institutionellen Grundlagen, der Arbeitsweise und den Ergebnissen der Zensurtätigkeit in Form von Auswertungen der Verbotslisten sowie den Zensoren, den betroffenen Autoren, Verlegern und Buchhändlern. Zehn Fallstudien beleuchten ausgewählte verbotene Werke, ein Anhang dokumentiert die wichtigsten Verordnungen und eine Auswahl von Zensurgutachten. Deutsche Version: https://e-book.fwf.ac.at/o:1102

Description (eng)

The influence of censorship on the intellectual and political life in the Habsburg Monarchy during the period under scrutiny can hardly be overstated. This study examines the institutional foundations, operating principles, and results of the censorial activity through analysis of the prohibition lists and examination of the censors themselves. Ten case studies focus on individual works forbidden by the censors, an annex documents the most important regulations along with a selection of censorial reports.
