Unacknowledged Legislation: Writers in the Public Sphere Christopher Hitchens

Book DescriptionA celebration of Percy Shelley"s assertion that "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world", these thirty-five essays on writers from Oscar Wilde to Salman Rushdie dispel the myth of politics as a stone tied to the neck of literature, Norman Podhoretz"s "bloody crossroads". 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.
