DESCRIPTION:*_Marking 50 years since Hannah Arendt's passing._*\n\nChristo
 pher Hayes is Official Fellow and Tutor in English\, Fellow for Libraries 
 and Keeper of the Archives\, St John’s College\, University of Oxford. H
 is first two books focused on modern fiction\, and considered questions ab
 out literary value in contrasting ways. The first\, _J.M. Coetzee and the 
 Novel_ (2010)\, explored how literature can acquire public moral and polit
 ical significance\, and the second\, _Philip Roth: Fiction and Power_ (201
 4)\, asks how\, and to what ends\, literature can help us escape the unill
 uminating and entrapping forms of moral language which command such power 
 in the modern world. His recent work is _Beyond the Ancient Quarrel_ (2018
 )—a collection of essays by a range of contemporary philosophers and lit
 erary critics\, which borrows its title from the claim Socrates makes in t
 he Republic that ‘there is an ancient quarrel between poetry and philoso
 phy’. His other recent project is _The Oxford History of Life-Writing: P
 ostwar to Contemporary_ (2022).\n\nRSVP for buffet: "$":mailto:info@oxford
