Amazon.com description: Product Description: A celebration of Percy Shelleyâs assertion that âpoets 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 Podhoretzâs âbloody 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.
