Reviews
'Asher (SUNY, Geneseo) offers a nuanced exploration of the ethical function of emotions as rendered through selected works of T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and George Bernard Shaw. … Asher argues that literature deepens readers' ethical awareness through intelligence of characters' affective lives. … Asher provocatively argues against literature as essentially a repository of normative scenarios and for its complex portrayal of relationships facilitating a deeper moral cognizance. … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.' C. Baker, CHOICE '… Asher's work will be of interest to a wider field of scholars concerned with the question of how reading and an attentiveness to emotions allows us to know the ethical life.' Vivek Santayana, BSLS Reviews
