More than any other author of the Modern period of American
literature, John Steinbeck evidenced a serious interest and
background in moral philosophy. His personal reading collection
included works ranging from Kant and Spinoza to Taoism and the
Bible. Critics also consistently identify Steinbeck as an author
whose work promotes serious moral reflection and whose characters
undergo profound moral growth. Yet to date there has been no
sustained examination of either John Steinbeck's personal moral
philosophy or the ethical features and content of his major works.
This critical neglect is remedied by a collection of highly
readable essays exploring the philosophy and work of one of
America's few Nobel Prize winning authors. These thirteen essays,
written by experts both within philosophy and Steinbeck studies,
examine almost all of Steinbeck's major works. Included in the
compilation are five general essays examining Steinbeck's own moral
philosophy and eight specific essays analyzing the ethics of
various major works.
