Esteemed Brown University professor Weinstein holds that, when we over-intellecualize art at the expense of feelings, we miss the point. Seeing art as a matter of life and death, he follows how literature feeds us food for the heart and teaches us what human life is about. It's interesting to follow how literature engages with other aspects of culture. He works many writers into his thesis, including Shakespeare, Proust, Charlotte Bronte, Dickens, Toni Morrison.
