Reading Texts, Reading Lives : Essays in the Tradition of Humanistic Cultural Criticism in Honor of Daniel R. Schwarz

Bok av Daniel Morris
Distinguished contributors take up eminent scholar Daniel R. Schwarz's reading of modern fiction and poetry as mediating between human desire and human action. The essayists follow Schwarz's advice, "always the text, always historicize," thus making this book relevant to current debates about the relationships between literature, ethics, aesthetics, and historical contexts.
