"Jurgen and the Law: A Statement, with Exhibits, of the Court's Opinion, and…" edited by Guy Holt is a legal document concerning the controversial book "Jurgen" by James Branch Cabell, published in the early 20th century. This book falls within the genres of literary analysis and legal commentary and was likely written during the 1920s, a time when discussions of obscenity in literature were prominent in American culture. The text explores the legal challenges that "Jurgen" faced, framing its examination of censorship and the boundaries of acceptable literature in the context of American law. The book details the events surrounding a legal case in which "Jurgen" was accused of obscenity, culminating in a trial where the defense argued for the book's literary merit. The proceedings reflect on the broader implications of censorship, art, and society's perception of morality and decency. The narrative follows the defense's argument that "Jurgen" should be regarded as literature rather than a lewd text, outlining the importance of context when evaluating works of art. Ultimately, the New York Court ruled in favor of the defendants, highlighting the ongoing struggle between artistic expression and societal standards, and emphasizing that literature serves as a critical commentary on life rather than mere provocations.
