Katherine Saunders Nash proposes four new theoretical paradigms: the ethics of persuasion (Virginia Woolf), of fair play (Dorothy L. Sayers), of distance (E. M. Forster), and of attention (John Cowper Powys). While offering close readings of novels by each author, this book also provides a new, interdisciplinary basis for coordinating feminist and rhetorical theories, history, and narrative technique. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Despite pronouncements by many theorists about the difficulty-even the impossibility-of doing justice in a single study to both history and form, \u003ci\u003eFeminist Narrative Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e proves that they can be mutually illuminating. Its approach is not only resolutely rhetorical, but resolutely historical as well. It strikes a felicitous balance between history and form that affords new understanding of the implied author concept. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eFeminist Narrative Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e makes a persuasive case for the necessity of locating authorial agency in the implied (rather than the actual) author and cogently explains why rhetorical theory insists on the concept of an implied (rather than an inferred) author. And it proposes a new facet of agency that rhetorical theorists have heretofore neglected: the ethics of progressive revisions to a project in manuscript.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKatherine Saunders Nash is assistant professor of English at Virginia Commonwealth University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67841122173235,"sku":"9780814252581","price":55.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/r32XCyC-HF9780814252581.webp?v=1793398411","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/feminist-narrative-ethics-tacit-persuasion-in-modernist-form-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
