The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Literature contains
twenty-three 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.
