Irony, Misogyny and Interpretation
Ambiguous Authority in Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche
How do we judge the misogyny of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Schopenhauer when it might be ironic? This book argues that ironic ambiguity is a formative aspect of their texts, not an excuse, and explores the ethical problem this poses for interpretation.

The Ethical Work of Literature in a Post-Humanist World
Don DeLillo, Arendt and Badiou
This title examines the contention that, in an era where the relevance of the literary novel is compromised, the novel remains an important means of exploring and interrogating societies and culture. It does this through readings of a selection of Don DeLillo’s later novels.

Conrad’s Destructive Element
The Metaphysical World-View Unifying Lord Jim
This new interpretation of Lord Jim uses Conrad's manuscript to reveal the novel as a unified whole. It refutes critics by showing how one metaphysical question gives the story a fixed pattern of meaning from beginning to end, just as Conrad claimed.
