Beschreibung:
Controversies and litigation about free speech, often involving sex reformers and labor unions, preceded the Espionage Act of 1917.
Most American historians and legal scholars incorrectly assume that controversies and litigation about free speech began abruptly during World War I; yet important free speech controversies and legal cases preceded the Espionage Act of 1917. World War I obscured prior libertarian defenses of free speech.
Introduction; 1. The lost tradition of libertarian radicalism; 2. The IWW free speech fights; 3. The courts and free speech; 4. Legal scholarship; 5. Free speech in progressive social thought; 6. The Espionage Act; 7. World War I and the creation of the modern Civil Liberties Movement; 8. Holmes, Brandeis, and the judicial transformation of the First Amendment after World War I; 9. Epilogue: current parallels to prewar progressive thought.
