Description
About the Book
This series has been designed to offer students and researchers a compact means of orientation in their study of Anglophone literary texts. Each volume will introduce readers to current concepts and methodologies, as well as academic debates, by combining theory with text analysis and contextual anchoring.
Book Synopsis
The handbook will be the first of its kind worldwide - and in contrast to, and clearly delimited from, The Routledge Companion to Ethics (ed. J. Skorupski) und The Oxford Handbook of the History of Ethics (ed. R. Crisp) - systematically investigates which contribution literature makes to ethics in its own way. We, therefore, speak of Literary Ethics and base the handbook on the premise that literature itself is a philosophical-ethical category.
