Articoli correlati a FORGERS AND CRITICS JGB
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".

From the dust jacket: "Just as it takes 'a thief to catch and thief' so the forger greatly aids the search for historical truth, maintains Anthony Grafton in this wide-ranging exploration of the links between forgery and scholarship This accessible work discusses forgers as different from each other as Dionysus the 'Renegade,' Erasmus, Carlo Sigonio, James MacPherson (Ossian), Thomas Chatterton Edmund Backhouse, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion Whatever their goals, forgers have often been well ahead of the critics in the pursuit of methods of authenticating documents, and Grafton shows that many techniques normally considered the invention of scholars in early modern Europe were already employed in classical times.".
