A celebration of writers and their encounters with politics and
public life from one of our greatest critics. Unacknowledged
Legislation is a celebration of Percy Shelley's assertion that
'poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world'. In over
thirty magnificent essays on writers from Oscar Wilde to Salman
Rushdie, and with his trademark wit, rigour and flair, master
critic Christopher Hitchens dispels the myth of politics as a stone
tied to the neck of literature. 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. I
have been asked whether I wish to nominate a successor, and
inheritor, a dauphin or delfino. I have decided to name Christopher
Hitchens. - Gore Vidal
