"The Invisible Censor" by Francis Hackett is a collection of essays and articles written in the early 20th century. The work provides a critical examination of societal norms and the underlying biases that influence the way individuals and events are portrayed in literature and history. Through a focus on the concept of the "invisible censor," Hackett scrutinizes how decorum and social expectations shape public narratives and our understanding of truth. At the start of the text, Hackett reflects on a conversation he had with a cultured woman who dismissed Strachey’s "Eminent Victorians" as "cheap.” This prompts him to explore the idea of the invisible censor—a force that governs what is deemed socially acceptable to express or reveal. He delves into the complexities of biography and storytelling, suggesting that the most valuable insights come from ignoring this censor and allowing for a more honest representation of characters and societal issues. Throughout the opening, he sets the stage for a broader critique of the constraints imposed by decorum and traditional values, indicating his intention to challenge these boundaries in subsequent essays.
