Description
The evidence assembled, Julius concludes his dissection of the landscapes of contemporary art by posing some important questions: what is art's future, when its boundary-exceeding, taboo-breaking endeavours become the norm?; and is anything of value lost when we submit to art's violations?
Author Biography
Anthony Julius, the eminent lawyer, writer and lecturer, has been described as a partisan with fierce integrity, a brilliant legal mind, a considerable critic, and a worldly philosopher who relishes disturbing the consensus. His previous books, T.S. Eliot: Anti-Semitism and Literary Form and Idolizing Pictures, were published to great acclaim and controversy.
Reviews'Anthony Julius's Transgressions is an invaluable study of the art of crossing boundaries, at once informative, combative and judicious. It will provoke argument and disagreement, and something rarer and more valuable than either: thought' - Salman Rushdie
