This general issue of Mosaic opens with an examination of Lady Chatterley’s Lover’s historic moral and legal challenges, written by acclaimed novelist J.M. Coetzee. Further discussion of potentially subversive material is found in an essay focused on Arnold Schoenberg and Ezra Pound, while other essays examine either artistic inspiration or genre in the works of Andy Warhol and Goethe, Ernest Hemingway and Gerald Murphy, and Theocritus and Virgil.
