Writing with calm authority for everyone concerned with the values of culture in a democracy, Steiner surveys a wide range of controversies--from the Mapplethorpe affair to political correctness on college campuses--to show that the fear and outrage inspired by these cases rests on a dangerous misunderstanding of the relationship of art to life--a misunderstanding that is fanned by the new conservative order on Capitol Hill. 30 illustrations.
