What was the ethical perspective of modernist literature? How did
Yeats, Eliot, Joyce, Woolf and Beckett represent ethical issues and
develop their moral ideas? Lee Oser argues that thinking about
human nature restores a perspective on modernist literature that
has been lost. He offers detailed discussions of the relationship
between ethics and aesthetics to illuminate close readings of major
modernist texts. For Oser, the reception of Aristotle is crucial to
the modernist moral project, which he defines as the effort to
transform human nature through the use of art. Exploring the
origins of that project, its success in modernism, its critical
heirs, and its possible future, The Ethics of Modernism brings a
fresh perspective on modernist literature and its interaction with
ethical strands of philosophy. It offers many new insights to
scholars of twentieth-century literature as well as intellectual
historians.
