- Title
'Of Costliest Emblem': A Dissenting View.
- Authors
Tung, Mason
- Abstract
This article presents a dissenting view on the book, "Of Costliest Emblem." The author disagrees with the two characterizations in the review of the book, 1) that it is a scholarly endeavor and 2) that it is Shahla Anand's sensitivity to all the texts she comments on that gives her book strength. The cumulative effects of misinterpreting texts and misappropriating contexts contradict the impression of a sensitive commentator at work. The truth of the matter is that these misreadings tend to make the author's comments appear dogmatic and ambivalent.
