Literature

In 1857, Gustave Flaubert gets in to legal trouble with the publication of Madame Bovary (1857). After a trial, he is acquitted. Charles Baudelaire publishes the poetry anthology Les Fleurs du mal (1857). He is less lucky than Flaubert, he is given a fine and some of the poems are banned by the French government. The French doctor Bénedict-Auguste Morel publishes a treatise on degeneracy titled Treatise on the Physical, Intellectual and Moral Degeneration of the Human Race (1857) and in the UK, book censorship is for the first time systematically enforced with the first Obscene Publications Act.

Eugène Sue's Les Mystères du peuple was also suppressed in toto by censor Ernest Pinard.
