In recent years, the practice of teaching political theory through literature and the arts has become widespread. Taken together, the essays in this book, written by 9 prominent practitioners, review the state of the art in this emerging field, dealing with the general nature of connections between political theory and literature and visual arts, with an eye to its political content and meaning.
