In December, LSC Congregants will continue viewing the series Banned Books, Burned Books – Forbidden Literary Works, with video host the author and book critic Professor Maureen Corrigan of Georgetown University.  She will continue to explore some of the most challenged and controversial works of literature, from the plays of Shakespeare to 21st-century best-sellers—even including the dictionary and classic fairy tales – tracing the history, in the United States and Great Britain, of the challenges to books, the censoring of books, book bans, and even burnings.
