The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Literature contains 23 newly
commissioned essays by major philosophers and literary scholars
that investigate literature as a form of attention to human life.
Various forms of attention are considered under the headings of
Genres (from Ancient Epic to the Novel and Contemporary
Experimental Writing), Periods (from Realism and Romanticism to
Postcolonialism), Devices and Powers (Imagination, Plot, Character,
Style, and Emotion), and Contexts and Uses (in relation to inquiry,
morality, and politics). In each case, the effort is to track and
evaluate how specific modes and works of imaginative literature
answer to important needs of human subjects for orientation, the
articulation of interest in life, and the working through of
emotion, within situations that are both sociohistorical and human.
Hence these essays show how and why literature matters in manifold
ways in and for human cultural life, and they show how philosophers
and imaginative literary writers have continually both engaged with
and criticized each other.
