Why can’t ethical criticism be easy?
The article attempts to defend ethical criticism against opponents who consider that textual analysis cannot take into consideration ethical issues, and makes an effort to prove that not all ways of speaking about ethics and literature have anything to do with ethical criticism. In spite of different approaches to the issue of ethical criticism, the existence of the “ethical power of art” is undeniable. Although the above fact is quite obvious and universally recognized, literature scholars in most cases do not wish to deal with this aspect of literature. As different genres and different types of literary texts incite to the formulation of ethical judgments, arguments and contentions concerning ethical issues may only be solved by critical pluralism.

The humanistic ethics of reading
The author presents the context in which the ethical turn has taken place and provides examples of traditions in criticism which exerted an infl uence on ethial criticism, putting emphasis on Wayne C. Booth’s book The Rhetoric of Fiction. The author quotes the most important concepts which form the basis of ethical criticism as well as its main principles – the link between a literary work and the outlook of its author, the shaping of a bond between a literary work and the reader in the process of reading, the subjective nature of each reading of a literary work and the consequences that follow this fact. Schwarz suggests distinguishing the ethics while reading (analysis of the moral consequences that follow reading a literary work) from the ethics of reading and presents five different phases of an ethical reading of a literary work.
