Some men have died of their own paragraphs. Ditchfield collects the authors whose work destroyed them: the heretics burned with their pages, the pamphleteers who lost their ears, the scholars ruined by a single sentence, from the printing press onward, in a catalogue of what it once cost to publish an opinion.
