Product Description
Review
Newton's book will become a pivotal text in our discussions of the ethical implications of reading. He has taken into account a great deal of prior work, and written with judgment and wisdom. -- Daniel Schwartz Narrative Newton offers elegant, provocative readings of texts ranging from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to Winesburg, Ohio, The Remains of the Day, and Bleak House...Newton's book is a rich vein of critical ore that can be mined profitably.

Product Description
The ethics of literature, formalists argue, resides in the moral quality of a character, a story, perhaps the relation between author and reader. But in the wake of deconstruction, the ethical question has been freshly engaged by literary studies, and on this approach Adam Newton focuses. His book makes a case for understanding narrative as ethics. Assuming an intrinsic and necessary connection between the two, Newton explores the ethical consequences of telling stories and fictionalizing character, and the reciprocal claims binding teller, listener, witness, and reader in the process.
