About this book

A celebration of Percy Shelleys assertion that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world 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 Podhoretzs 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.
