The contributors to The Moral of the Story, all preeminent
political theorists, are unified by their concern with the
instructive power of great literature. This thought-provoking
combination of essays explores the polyvalent moral and political
impact of classic world literatures on public ethics through the
study of some of its major figures-including Shakespeare, Dante,
Cervantes, Jane Austen, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Robert Penn
Warren, and Dostoevsky. Positing the uniqueness of literature's
ability to promote dialogue on salient moral and intellectual
virtues, editor Henry T. Edmonson III has culled together a
wide-ranging exploration of such fundamental concerns as the abuse
of authority, the nature of good leadership, the significance of
'middle class virtues' and the needs of adolescents. This
collection reinvigorates the study of classic literature as an
endeavor that is not only personally intellectually satisfying, but
also an inimitable and unique way to enrich public discourse.
