Recenzii
What is literature? Does it still play a part in fashioning the self and possibly in reforming society? Can it still mediate between people of different persuasions, races, genders, religions as Plato and the Humanists believed? In her compelling study, Corina Beleaua argues that reading is a transformational process which releases individuals from self-centeredness and engages them into authentic dialogues with "the Other." As educational tools, literary texts have promoted moral, political, and artistic values that form the backbone of free, democratic societies. Nowadays, when the socio-cultural fabric is torn by seemingly irreconcilable conflicts this dialogic dimension of literary texts can once more be the silver lining we have been looking for.
Locating Values in Literature eloquently reminds us why classic and contemporary works of literature are all the more necessary in today's fragmented, tormented world. Remarkably well read in both European and American literatures, Corina-Mihaela Beleaua speaks old wisdom in a fresh voice, by her quiet intensity drawing us into the deep truths of the written word, into the beauty and goodness that have always inspired the best teachers and their students.
