War against Women by Marilyn French
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 A Death in the Family, Walker Percy's Love in the Ruins, and Robert Penn Warren's A Place to Come To. 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.
Marilyn French (1929-2009) was an American writer and notable feminist scholar. She received her BA from Hofstra College (now Hofstra University) in 1951; in 1964, she returned to Hofstra to earn her M.A. and later earned her PhD from Harvard University. French is best known for her first novel, the 21-million-copy bestseller The Women's Room, which is considered one of the most influential works of the modern feminist movement, and its sequel, In the Name of Friendship. She spent fifteen years researching and writing her immensely readable four volume women's history series From Eve to Dawn: A History of Women in the World. Her other non-fiction works include Beyond Power: On Women, Men, and Morals; The War Against Women; and her memoir on her battle with esophageal cancer, A Season in Hell. In addition to writing, French taught at Hofstra, Harvard, and Holy Cross College.
