A lively history of the Watch and Ward Society--New England's notorious literary censor for over eighty years. Banned in Boston is the first-ever history of the Watch and Ward Society--once Boston's unofficial moral guardian. An influential watchdog organization, bankrolled by society's upper crust, it actively suppressed vices like gambling and prostitution, and oversaw the mass censorship of books and plays. A spectacular romp through the Puritan City, here Neil Miller relates the scintillating story of how a powerful band of Brahmin moral crusaders helped make Boston the most straitlaced city in America, forever linked with the infamous catchphrase "banned in Boston."

Once upon a time, the leaders of the city of Boston took it upon themselves to decide what could and could not be distributed or shown in the Boston Public Library. The phrase, “Banned in Boston,” came to be known as a catch-phrase for censorship of any kind, The title poem in this collection explores the impact of censorship, while that poem and all the others in the set speak to what Carl Nielsen once called “the inextinguishable.”It became a badge of honor to be banned in Boston, Just a few of the authors who found themselves so honored are Walt Whitman, Aldous Huxley, Ernest Hemmingway, Eugene O'Neill, and the Everly Brothers. But censorship is a universal problem. When Russian composers were under attack in 1948, Sergei Prokofiev commented to Dmitri Shostakovich “What do ministers know of music?” Or art, or writing?This collection includes the essay, “The Thrill of it All,” a personal reflection on finding oneself quoted. George Carlin once wrote that “more people write poetry than read it.” having a poem discovered and used as the inspiration and basis for another project means someone is paying attention, and that makes all this worth it.

Ben Porter is an MBA student unsure what his future holds. Franklin Abbott is a Boston Brahman, wanting to use his "old money" to do some good for the city he loves. Margaret O'Leary is a widowed Irish matron from South Boston who is indignant about most everything except her numerous friends and relations. This unlikely trio heads up Decency and Morality Now! (which has the unfortunate acronym of D.A.M.N!) This antipornography organization has seen its funding dwindle with the advent of the VCR, as well as the city's indifference to the issue. They come up with a way to "fight fire with fire" in order to increase their revenue stream. It's foolproof - unless they get caught, that is. Revisit Boston in the 1980s, a time of relative innocence, in this "slightly naughty-but-nice" fable, in which "things are not always what they seem." You never know what might get "Banned in Boston."

Downtown Boston once thrived as a dazzling bohemia of burlesque halls, movie palaces, dime museums, and regal stages. By 1915, more than 20 theaters crowded along a quarter-mile stretch of lower Washington Street. The theater district gave birth to vaudeville and incubated some of America's most darling musicals and daring new dramas en route to Broadway. Theatergoers flocked to Tremont and Boylston Streets to watch the latest tryouts. Some productions flopped; others, like Oklahoma! and Paul Robeson's Othello, were runaway hits. Still others earned the coveted seal of disapproval, "Banned in Boston," from zealous city censors. Overrun by seedy venues in the 1970s, the Combat Zone, as it came to be known, seemed to justify old Puritan fears that the stage would corrupt public morals. Only in recent years has the district rebounded through careful restoration of storied playhouses like the Boston Opera House, the Majestic, and the Colonial--grand vestiges of a booming cultural corridor still vibrant today.
