Through the concept of contamination, David Greetham highlights variousways that one text may invade another, carrying with it a residue of potentialmeaning. While the focus of this study is on written works, the scope ranges widelyover music, politics, art, science, philosophy, religion, and social studies.Greetham argues that this sort of contamination is not only ubiquitous incontemporary culture, but may also be a necessary and beneficial circumstance.Tracing contamination from the Middle Ages onward, he takes up issues such as theplacement of quote marks in Keats's "Ode to a Grecian Urn, " the controversy over theuse of evidence for "yellowcake" uranium in Niger, and the reconstitution of realityon YouTube, to illustrate that the basic questions of evidence, fact, and voice havealways been slippery concepts.
