Writing and Equality
Michael Lydon, author
In Writing and Equality Michael Lydon poses two core beliefs: that all humans are equal and that writing can capture the truth of life. Yet, he admits, many fine books, including the Bible and Homer, take social inequality for granted.
Lydon answers the riddle with detailed readings of The Canterbury Tales, Don Quixote, Moliere's plays and Anthony Trollope's novels that show how each other finds their way to the foundation of equality that underlies superficial inequality.
