"A tour de force of lively writing and keen historical
interpretation. . . . This work is both an essential casebook and
an outspoken, feisty, important study of the struggle for
intellectual and religious liberties."--Publishers Weekly
"An eloquent, monumental study."--Kirkus Reviews
"Levy's curiosity ranges far and wide, and his erudite explorations
take us beyond blasphemy and into perennial disputes involving
sedition, heresy, obscenity, profanity, nonconformity, subversion,
conspiracy and disturbing the peace."--New York Times Book
Review
"The main strength of Levy's Blasphemy is its rich historical
rendering of the crime of blasphemy and the evolution of that crime
in Anglo-American law."--Quarterly Journal of Speech
