This provocative new work examines the years between the Nazi book fires and the publication of Ray Bradbury?s Fahrenheit 451 (1953), a period when book burning captured the popular imagination. It explores how embedded the myths of book burning have become in our cultural history, and illustrates the enduring appeal of a great cleansing bonfire.
