Wayne C. Booth's "Why Ethical Criticism Can Never Be Simple", J. Hillis Miller's "How to Be 'in Tune with the Right' in The Golden Bowl", Martha C. Nussbaum's "Exactly and Responsibly: A Defense of Ethical Criticism", and Susan Gubar's "Poets of Testimony" are among the fifteen essays included. Bringing together ethical criticism's most important theorists, Mapping the Ethical Turn is a cohesive introduction to a reading paradigm that continues to influence the ways in which we think and feel about the stories that mark our lives.
