- Description
- Consideration of authorial agency enables professors and students to explore relationships between personal ethos and literary texts. Ethical criticism frames discussions of whether Chaucer raped Cecily Chaumpaigne or whether Flannery O'Connor was a racist and thus enables students to develop a more critically sophisticated and ethically engaged analysis.
