Expurgation is a form of censorship which involves purging anything deemed noxious or offensive, usually from an artistic work.
It has also been called bowdlerization, after Thomas Bowdler, who in 1818 published an expurgated edition of William Shakespeare's work that he considered to be more appropriate for women and children. He similarly edited Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
A work that has been subjected to expurgation is sometimes called a fig-leaf edition.
