Practicing Literary Theory in the Middle Ages
earliest edition we have, 2013 University of Chicago Press, 2013
Literary scholars often avoid the category of the aesthetic in discussions of ethics, believing that purely aesthetic judgments can vitiate analyses of a literary work's sociopolitical heft and meaning. In this work, Eleanor Johnson reveals that aesthetics - the formal aspects of literary language that make it sense-perceptible - are indeed inextricable from ethics in the writing of medieval literature.
