FORGERS AND CRITICS JGB - Tapa dura
Reseña del editor:
Just as it "takes a thief to catch and thief", so the forger greatly aids the search for historical truth, asserts the author of this exploration of the links between forgery and criticism. Ranging from Dionysus the "Renegade", Erasmus, Thomas Chatterton and James MacPherson (Ossian) to the recent past with Sir Edmund Backhouse, Richard Reitzenstein and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the book evokes a panoply of forgers who produced a triumph of learning and style and scholarly detectives who honed the tools of learning and scholarship to unmask the fakers and reveal the historical interest of two strands in the Western intellectual tradition. The author's other books include "The Transmission of Culture in Early Modern Europe" and he is a frequent reviewer in "The Times Literary Supplement".
