This review primarily considers five articles published in Forbidden Literature. Case studies on censorship, edited by Erik Erlanson, Jon Helgason, Peter Henning & Linnéa Lindsköld and published by Nordic Academic Press, Lund, 2020. It argues that this type of publication is important as it both lays bare the powers of censorship, explaining how censorship may be exercised, and pushes the borders of what may be considered as censorship.
