Hello H-SHGAPE Subscribers,
 

We invite you over to the blog to read the seventh and final installment of a forum on the history and legacy of Anthony Comstock. The forum is forthcoming in the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era and is formally titled “The History and Legacy of Anthony Comstock and the Comstock Laws.” Given our current debates on abortion following the Dobbs decision and the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, which proposes to revive the Comstock Act, we hope this forum will provide useful historical context about the Act’s influence on American life. 

The final installment is by Kimberly A. Hamlin, entitled “Understanding Comstock Through Primary Sources”

You can find the link here.
