Divided into four descriptive sections--"Theory and the Ethics
of Literary Text," "Confronting the Difficult: The Ethics of Race
and Power," "Making Darkness Visible: The Ethical Implications of
Narrative as Witness," and "Ways of Seeing: The Diversity of
Applied Ethical Criticism"--this unprecedented collection of essays
traces the interpretive, pedagogic, and theoretical concerns
inherent in the study of literature, ethics, and modes of
criticism. Wayne C. Booth's "Why Ethical Criticism Can Never Be
Simple," J. Hillis Miller's "How to Be 'in Tune with the Right' in
The Golden Bowl," Susan Gubar's "Poets of Testimony," and Martha C.
Nussbaum's "Exactly and Responsibly: A Defense of Ethical
Criticism" are among the fifteen essays included. Bringing together
ethical criticism's most important theorists, Mapping the Ethical
Turn is a cohesive introduction to a reading paradigm that
continues to influence the ways in which we think and feel about
the stories that mark our lives.
