Summary:Literary scholars often avoid the category of the aesthetic in discussions of ethics, believing that purely aesthetic judgments can vitiate analyses of a literary work's sociopolitical heft and meaning. In this work, Eleanor Johnson reveals that aesthetics - the formal aspects of literary language that make it sense-perceptible - are indeed inextricable from ethics in the writing of medieval literature.
