BOOK SYNOPSIS
Book burning is one of the taboos of modernity, due in part to its association with the Nazi book fires. This event provides the focus for a study of the broader history of destroying a book by fire, arguing for a more complex and nuanced understanding of the uses of book burning in the literary culture of the twentieth-century.
