The hosts chat with Dr. Duncan-O'Neill about her recent book _Art Against Censorship: Honoré Daumier, Comedy, and Resistance in 19th-Century France_ (2024, Manchester University Press). This book explores how the famous caricaturist Honoré Daumier used comedy and art to resist censorship in 19th-century France, even depicting 17th-century theater scenes during periods of political oppression. _Art Against Censorship_ examines Daumier's career, which included imprisonment for a satirical cartoon, and his use of lithography to create direct and spontaneous political commentary, often lampooning the government and bourgeoisie.
