Summary: "Index Expurgatorius Anglicanus" by W. H. Hart is a historical catalog written in the late 19th century. It serves as a descriptive catalog of significant books printed or published in England that have been suppressed, censured, or destroyed due to various forms of state or religious persecution. The book provides insights into the history of censorship and the challenges faced by authors and publishers over centuries, specifically during the tumultuous periods of religious conflict in England. At the start of the work, the author outlines the primary purpose of the catalog, emphasizing the range of books that have faced suppression throughout history. These include various theological texts, reformation writings, and political treatises that sparked controversy and backlash, often leading to authorial prosecution or public punishment. The introductory details also hint at the broader implications of censorship on freedom of expression and the changing landscape of literature in England, setting the tone for a comprehensive examination of literary suppression in the ensuing chapters.
