{"product_id":"virtuous-intentions-mark-ledbetter-9781555403959","title":"Virtuous Intentions: The Religious Dimension of Narrative","description":"Narrative does not simply tell a story; it discovers and creates story as well. Mark Ledbetter argues that an important dimension of narrative is its ability to reveal the virtuous life. He examines three narrative texts: James Agee's \u003cem\u003eA Death in the Family\u003c\/em\u003e, Walker Percy's \u003cem\u003eLove in the Ruins\u003c\/em\u003e, and Robert Penn Warren's \u003cem\u003eA Place to Come To\u003c\/em\u003e. His goal is to demonstrate how a study of narrative structure, especially the element of character, explores and reveals the life of virtue. He concludes with a discussion of how moral criticism has a place in post-modern literary reflection and how the two can work together to produce a critically sound literary interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Ledbetter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1555403956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555403959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 6.54w x 0.30d","brand":"Mark Ledbetter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425329070335,"sku":"9781555403959","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6a5e74d-dba3-4573-a856-d2c03e7b319c.jpg?v=1761538483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/virtuous-intentions-mark-ledbetter-9781555403959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
