Forbidden Knowledge: From Prometheus to Pornography by Roger Shattuck
In this scholarly, provocative and gracefully written study, Shattuck--a distinguished critic (The Banqueting Years) and translator (of Apollinaire)--argues that there are moral taboos (even if they are sometimes unclearly defined) that we dare violate at our peril, that there are indeed limits--both philosophical and physical--to what humankind is meant to know and experience and that from the very beginnings of civilization, a central theme in our thought and literature has been the struggle to understand what those limits are.
