Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere

Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere
- Used Book in Good Condition
A celebration of Percy Shelleyâ€™s assertion that â€˜poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the worldâ€™, these thirty-plus essays on writers from Oscar Wilde to Salman Rushdie dispel the myth of politics as a stone tied to the neck of literature; Norman Podhoretzâ€™s â€˜bloody crossroadsâ€™. Instead Hitchens argues that when all parties in the state were agreed on a matter, it was the individual pens that created the space for a true moral argument.
