This book sets out to describe the ways in which these English words--violence, literature, and civility--and the concepts they evoke are mutually entangled, and the uses to which these entanglements have been put. What now are our expectations of civility and literature, separately and together? How do these long-familiar but residually imprecise concepts stand up to the demands of the modern world? Simpson's argument is that both persist as important protocols for the critique of violence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Civility, literature and their discontents -- Civil beginnings -- Philosophy polite and politic -- The displacement of civility : violence in a widening world -- Civility after 1989 : romancing small groups -- The reach of literature. 650 0 $a Literature and morals. 650 0 $a Literature and society. 650 0 $a Violence in literature. 650 0 $a Courtesy in literature. 650 7 $a Courtesy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881718 650 7 $a Literature and morals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000085 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Violence in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167282 776 08 $i Online version: $a Simpson, David, 1951- $t Engaging violence. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2022 $z 9781503633094 $w (DLC) 2021055752 830 0 $a Cultural memory in the present. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024453.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230218011043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A8ED28A4EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
