About This Item
Hemel Hempstead, Herts: Harvester Wheatsheaf, 1993. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket (spine little faded). 242 pp. David Lawton (Reader in English, University of Sydney) provides both a short history and a series of detailed readings about the concept of "blasphemy". Argues that blasphemy is literary in nature, as demonstrated by medieval charges against heretics, or by the intricate framework of blasphemies that structure much of Freud's writing. The book deals with popular and literary culture, religion and racism, law, social power and international relations. (Wrong ISBN printed on rear jacket: 0745005691.).
