Authors:  MARIA ŞTEFĂNESCU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  One of the key developments in recent Anglo-American literary theory, ethical criticism has brought together scholars with various post-structuralist and/or Levinasian allegiances, as well as critics who have engaged the most recent work in narratology and rhetorical theory in order to (re)explore the ethical implications of narratives. This article aims to chart the most significant developments in the field of rhetorical ethical criticism, with special emphasis on the contributions of Wayne C. Booth, Martha Nussbaum, Peter J. Rabinowitz and James Phelan. Some current critical assessments have also been discussed.

Keywords: ethical criticism, narratology, rhetorical theory of narrative, aesthetics
