书名: Postmodernity, Ethics and the Novel: From Leavis to Levinas
作者: Andrew Gibson (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (August 17, 1999)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415198968
ISBN-13: 978-0415198967
Book Description
Gibson sets out to demonstrate that postmodern theory has actually made possible an ethical discourse around fiction. Each chapter elaborates and discusses a particular aspect of Levinas' thought and its bearing on the novel. It also contains detailed analyses of particular texts. Part of the book's originality is its concentration on a range of modernist and postmodern novels that have seldom if ever served as the basis for a larger ethical theory of fiction.
Review
'There is a level of mastery in these discussions, and indeed a range of it, that is consistently stimulating, both in the handling of novelists and theorists.' -- David Rudrum, European Journal of English Studies
'This is a provocative and highly ambitious project.' -- Simon Malpas and Kate McGowan, Years Work in Critical Cultural Theory
