Literary Studies and the Philosophy of Literature
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-81438-4 (ISBN)
It identifies that literary studies and the philosophy of literature address similar issues: What is literature? What is its value? Why do I care about characters? What is the role of the author in understanding a literary work? What is fiction as opposed to non-fiction? Yet, genuine, interdisciplinary interaction remains scarce. This collection seeks to overcome current obstacles and seek out new paths for exploration.
Andrea Selleri is Associate Fellow at the University of Warwick, UK, where he completed a PhD in English and Comparative Literary Studies.

He is currently creating a teaching and learning handbook for the university, teaches on imagination and ethical development, facilitates Philosophy in primary schools, and coaches women's American Football at university and international level.
