Literature and Ethics cover

Part I examines literary conventions as forms of ethical indecision in studies of Empson, Hamlet, and Elizabethan portraiture. Part II defines the "ethics of the unsaid" as an act of resistance and judgment in the work of Austen, Irigaray, and Chaucer. Part III considers discursive "networks," formally in Boethius, technologically in Joyce, and academically in the policy of modern universities on tenure. This book includes essays by Elaine Bandor, Maggie Berg, David Braybrooke, Abbott Conway, Leslie Duer, Dean Frye, Donald F. Theall, Gary Wihl, and David Williams, and honours A.E. Malloch.

"I think that anyone who shares some of A.E. Malloch's wide interests and deep convictions will find in it much profit and pleasure." William Blissett, Department of English, University of Toronto "this is a highly readable and surprisingly coherent group of essays...this admirable tribute...is sure to meet with the warm approval of all who read it." Paul Fry, Department of English, Yale University
