This is a fully revised and updated new edition of the classic work first published in 1985. There have been many important developments since the first edition including the impact of the European Human Rights Convention. Social and cultural changes mean that free speech claims are being made in novel contexts. Barendt considers the meaning and scope of freedom of speech and examines the varied approaches of different legal systems and constitutional traditions to balancing free speech and freedom of the press against rights to reputation and privacy, and to copyright.

Eric Barendt is Goodman Professor of Media Law at University College London.
a deeply satisfying first chapter entitled "Why protect free speech?", which should be read by anyone who thinks J. S. Mill said everything that needed to be said on the topic...This admirable volume is a fully revised and updated edition of the major work published in 1985.
`It is one of the many virtues of this work that the various aspects of freedom of speech are kept constantly in play...This book should be on the reading list of any student of the ideologies and manners of western liberal democracies.'
David Bentley (Associate Fellow in International Law at Chatham House) The World Today
