Many of the West¿s best writers fought in duels or wrote about them, seduced by glamour or risk or recklessness. A gift as a plot device, the duel also offered a way to discover how we face fears of humiliation, pain, and death. John Leigh¿s literary history of the duel illuminates these and other tensions attending the birth of the modern world.
