520    Fifteen specially commissioned essays from distinguished 
       authors explore the value of critical thinking, the power 
       of the written word, and the resonance of literature in 
       the twenty-first century. Each explores the crucial place 
       of the writer, past and present. Their work articulates 
       'brave new words' at the heart of battles against 
       limitations on fundamental rights of citizenship, the 
       closure of national borders, fake news, and an increasing 
       reluctance to engage with critical democratic debate.
