This is a wonderful book—beautifully written, deeply moving, and philosophically well argued. I loved it.—Nel Noddings, author of Caring: A Feminine Approach to Ethics and Moral Education
This book gives us something all too rare in contemporary philosophical writing: a passionate, careful, deeply sympathetic and sustained analysis of some important literary narratives in aid of a clearly defined philosophical project. Whether one agrees with Cunningham’s conclusions or not, his treatment of the texts is inspiring and illuminating.—Lawrence C. Becker, author of A New Stoicism
