{"product_id":"9781555403959","title":"Virtuous Intentions: The Religious Dimension of Narrative","description":"\u003cp\u003eNarrative 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050336600304,"sku":"9781555403959","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555403959_p0.jpg?v=1763754657","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555403959","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
