Publisher Synopsis
" ... this wonderfully provocative collection of thematically linked essays explores the intersection of ethics, literature, and literary criticism... Harpham writes cogently, knows well the texts of modernity, and invites theory-bound contemporaries to emerge from the shadows and engage in all life's messy details. Highly recommended." - Choice " ... this challenging and stimulating volume ... represents another valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on the ethics of literature and criticism."--English, December 2001 Read more...
