"What might have led to the responsibility even slightly, that all was removed."

Abstract

A case study on the history of censorship. School libraries had been under censorship control of the ministerium, however after 1869 teachers' associations started being involved in similar activities as well.

Before the end of the 19th century, campaigns against "morally harmful texts" distorted both the whole field of children's literature and publishing houses' policies
