Ethical Crossroads in Literary Modernism, edited by Katherine Ebury, Bridget English, and Matthew Fogarty, builds on new modernist studies and recent criticism to interrogate the term 'modernist ethics.' The collection stands out in the breadth of its scope, seeking to act as a definitive guide to those seeking to familiarize themselves with the multifaceted conjunction of modernism and ethics. While other book-length studies in the field tend to focus either on a specific canonical writer, or on narrower aspects of ethics, Ethical Crossroads is broadly divided into four methodological sections: 'The Ethics of Mind and Body,' 'Planetary Ethics,' 'Legal Ethics,' and 'Intersectional Ethics.' Each of these sections includes a wide range of theories and approaches, which are discussed in relation to both canonical and non-canonical texts. In combining such an expansive approach together with attention to the different localities, specificities and nuances making up literary modernism, Ethical Crossroads emerges as a rich and thought-provoking collection, and a welcome contribution to scholarship.
