- Title
Freedom of Expression in Nineteenth Century England: Weak in Principle, Robust in Practice.
- Authors
Barendt, Eric
- Abstract
This article introduces the most significant steps taken towards the introduction of freedom of discussion in the UK and compares them with debates on freedom of the press and freedom of expression in the rest of Europe. Taking as a starting point John Stuart Mill's and Albert Dicey's nineteenth-century deliberations on freedom of discussion and freedom of the press, this article examines debates around the extent to which English law should guarantee or restrict the press's or the individual's ability to spread new ideas.
