The Taboo
Harold Bloom, Editor Blake Hobby, Sterling Professor of the Humanities Harold Bloom
From a Polynesian word meaning 'prohibition', a taboo is a social more that should not be broken by society's participants, for doing so can mean punishment. This book discusses the role of the taboo in Howl, Lolita, Lord of the Flies, The Miller's Tale, and many more works.
