Beaumarchais’s banned plays

Two articles which I wrote for Liberty Fund are up in their Banned Books Week series, which runs all through October. My articles are on Caron de Beaumarchais’s two well-known “Figaro” plays, both of which got him in trouble with the censors.

Take a look at the rest of the articles if you have time; there’s a lot of interesting material.
