520    "This book focuses on a series of courtroom cases that 
       were all represented by the same lawyer: Morris L. Ernst. 
       Ernst's clients included European and American literati 
       and sexual activists, among them Margaret Sanger, James 
       Joyce, and Alfred Kinsey. They, along with a cast of 
       burlesque theater owners and bookstore clerks, had run 
       afoul of strict obscenity laws, and became actors in 
       Ernst's legal theater that ultimately forced the law to 
       recognize people's right to freely consume media. In this 
       book, Brett Gary recovers the critically neglected Ernst 
       as the most important legal defender of literary 
       expression and reproductive rights by the mid-twentieth 
       century. Each chapter centers on one or more key trials 
       from Ernst's career battling censorship and obscenity laws,
       using them to tell a broader story of cultural changes and
       conflicts around sex, morality, and free speech ideals. 
       These trials sets the stage, legally and culturally, for 
       the sexual revolution of the 1960s and beyond. In the 
       latter half of the century, the courts had a powerful body
       of precedents, many owing to Ernst's courtroom successes, 
       that recognized adult interests in sexuality, women's 
       needs for reproductive control, and the legitimacy of 
       sexual inquiry"--|cProvided by the publisher.
