Inhaltsangabe
"A lucid and original contribution to the literature of free speech." -Laurence Tribe, Harvard University "[Surprises] are in store for readers of [this book]. The biggest one is that [Shiffrin's] First Amendment exemplars aren't such history-making United States Supreme Court justices as Oliver Wendell Holmes and William J. Brennan but Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson." -Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times "[Shiffrin] provides the kind of linkage between law and the humanities often called for but seldom achieved." -Daniel Aaron, Harvard University "This book offers a perspective on the First Amendment that is both original and important.... Shiffrin is dazzling in the range of his reading and the clarity and pertinence of his documentation." -Vincent Blasi, Columbia University "Shiffrin compellingly presents a particular notion of the First Amendment, rooted in the protection of the dissenter, that has important implications for a variety of contemporary debates.... He vigorously defends a highly contextual [ized].... model of constitutional decision making that has implications far beyond the First Amendment." -Sanford Levinson, University of Texas at Austin Steven H. Shiffrin is Professor of Law at Cornell University.

Reseña del editor
If an organizing symbol makes sense in First Amendment jurisprudence, it is not the image of a content-neutral government, argues Steven Shiffrin, nor is it a town-hall meeting or even a robust marketplace of ideas. If the First Amendment is to have an organizing symbol, let it be an Emersonian symbol: let it be the image of the dissenter.
