“…15 Uncle Tom's Cabin was likely among the books meeting these criteria, and copies of the novel may also have been burned by students at the University of Virginia. 16 Slavery was abolished in Virginia in 1865 with the defeat of the Confederacy, but the system of racially segregated and inequitably financed schools and libraries enacted during the following century (the Jim Crow era) represents a continuing form of censorship. While books may not have been banned, access to library material was restricted by law.…”

The early 2020s saw a wave of demands for books to be removed from school and public libraries in Virginia and throughout the United States. A disproportionately high percentage of challenges were aimed at books written by LGBTQ+ authors and authors of color. Involvement by public officials was one of the most striking features of the challenges-especially when Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin chose to make "parental control" of children's education a central feature of his 2021 campaign. However, while these events represent a new and troubling phase in the long history of struggles for control of reading material, race and sexuality have been recurring themes in book censorship throughout Virginia history in periods of backlash to social change. This article surveys episodes in the history of book censorship in Virginia from 1960-present set against the longer arc of Virginia and US history. Books provide exposure to knowledge as well as its representation, ensuring that they will be a focus of cultural and political struggles. Demands to restrict library materials in order to protect children tend to focus on literature giving voice to marginalized communities, and can be followed by demands to restrict adults' reading material as well.

“…Toen de al eerder genoemde Harriet Beecher Stowe op zoek was naar een geloofwaardig einde voor Uncle Tom's Cabin, vond ze het nodig om uit te zoeken of eenmaal bevrijde slaven wel in staat waren om voor zichzelf te zorgen. 149 Zelfs Abraham Lincoln brak zich in de jaren 1850 het hoofd over de bestemming van de zwarte slaven na de door hem nagestreefde afschaffing van de slavernij. Moesten ze 'onder ons' blijven als 'ondergeschikten'?…”

Het gaat niet zo goed met Hendrik Conscience . Het lichaam van de schrijver werd natuurlijk al lang geleden ter aarde besteld, maar intussen moeten ook zijn immense oeuvre en zijn ooit ontzagwekkende reputatie dood en begraven heten. Met uitzondering van een wetenschappelijke uitgave van De leeuw van Vlaenderen (1838), die men vergeefs in de boekhandel zal zoeken, is geen enkele van zijn meer dan tachtig boektitels nog leverbaar, tenzij tweedehands. Wel werd De leeuw van Vlaenderen in 2015 een plek toebedeeld in de Literaire Canon van de Koninklijke Academie voor Nederlandse Taal en Letteren (KANTL). Maar de publiciteit voor deze canon liet achter de gemaakte keuze frisse tegenzin vermoeden. Op de bijbehorende website werd geconstateerd dat het werk van Conscience "onleesbaar" was In 1966 bewerkte Hugo Claus voor de Koninklijke Nederlandse Schouwburg (KNS) de negentiende-eeuwse avonturenroman Het Goudland (1862) van Hendrik Conscience tot een musicalspektakel. Daarin werd Conscience zelf opgevoerd als een sleetse verteller die er behalve erg preutse ook nogal reactionaire en zelfs racistische opvattingen op nahield. Het toneelstuk ging op 23 december 1966 in Antwerpen in première in een regie van Walter Tillemans. De legendarische acteur Robert Marcel (1900Marcel ( -1987 vertolkte Conscience, wiens voorkomen gemodelleerd was naar het Antwerpse standbeeld van de schrijver. Met de toneeladaptatie van Het Goudland droeg Hugo Claus bij aan de reputatie van Hendrik Conscience als een onverbeterlijke racist.

“…Jane Tompkins' sterke forsvar for en angivelig like håpløst sentimental som utdatert bok (1986) satte et tydelig skille i resepsjonshistorien. Så kompletterte Claire Parfait (2007) bildet ved å utrede en høyst uvanlig publiseringshistorie, Barbara Hochman (2011) ved å studere skiftende historiske lesemåter og Henry Louis Gates (2007) ved å kontekstualisere den historiske lesingen i sin overdådig kommenterte utgave. I denne artikkelen har det vaert om å gjøre å vise hvordan «fenomenet onkel Tom» fikk sin saerlige historiske betydning i Norge på 1850-tallet.…”

Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in Boston in 1852, instantly became a phenomenal bestseller in Europe as well as in the USA. This article inquires into the book history of translated fiction in Norway between 1814 and 1857, with P.T. Malling's edition of Harriet Beecher Stowe's epoch-making novel (1852-1853) in a pivotal position. Translated novels were indeed scarce before Malling's bold enterprise, this sector of the book market being dominated by titles imported from Denmark. After the successful publishing of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Malling ambitiously saw his chance to launch a whole library of contemporary novels in translation, published in the form of a journal (Tidsskrift for Skjønliteratur). Uncle Tom's Cabin, then, may be argued to have contributed to a significant change in the history of the novel in Norway. Stowe's religious pamphlet was able to supply the genre with a kind of dignity and prestige it had never had before.
