Summary: This book argues that there exists no natural, evolutionary history of free speech. It also challenges interpretations that rest upon discovering an 'original understanding' about the First Amendment. This interpretive history of the law of libel highlights the complexity and historically rooted nature of legal concepts and legal consciousness in the U. S.
