“Offensive, lewd, lascivious and indecent”
On January 14, 1920, Guy Holt received this summons on charges of violating Section 1141 of New York’s penal code. Holt was the book manager at Robert M. McBride & Co. which published James Branch Cabell’s Jurgen in late 1919. John Sumner of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice wanted the book censored. The resulting court case would not be resolved for two years.
James Branch Cabell held onto this summons which is now held with his papers and books in Special Collections and Archives, James Branch Cabell Library, Virginia Commonwealth University.
