Meaning is not the successful delivery of content; it is the forging of relation between speaker and hearer, text and reader, past and future. Patrycja Austin and Simon Perry consider a wide range of sources including classical literature, ancient philosophy, the bible, medieval literature, and contemporary American fiction. In a world where connection feels increasingly elusive, this book offers a path back to presence, showing how texts allow us to ‘show up’ for one another across the boundaries of time, language, and being.
This interdisciplinary book will appeal to readers interested in literature and theology, philosophy and literature, literary ethics, and critical theory.
Patrycja Austin is Assistant Professor of English at The Institute of Neophilology, University of Rzeszów, Poland. Her work focuses on medieval and early modern literature, Shakespeare, and critical theory, with particular attention to the dialogue between literature and philosophy. Simon Perry is Chaplain, Tutor, and Fellow at Robinson College, University of Cambridge, UK. His research explores the intersections of hermeneutics, political theology, and cultural critique. His publications include Black’s New Testament Commentary on the Gospel of Saint Luke (2025) and Resurrecting Interpretation (2012).
