This book probes the intersection of the beautiful and the ugly offering a systematic framework to understand interpret and evaluate how ugliness can contribute to beautiful art. Many great artworks include elements of ugliness: repugnant content disproportionate forms unresolved dissonance and unintegrated parts. Mark William Roche’s authoritative monograph Beautiful Ugliness: Christianity Modernity and the Arts challenges current practices of the dominant aesthetic schools by exploring the role of ugliness in art and literature. Roche offers a comprehensive and unique framework that integrates philosophical and theological reflection intellectual-historical analysis and interpretations of a large number of works from the arts. The study is driven by the recognition that though ugliness is usually understood as the opposite of beauty ugliness nonetheless contributes significantly to the beauty of many artworks. Roche’s analysis unfolds in three parts. The first offers a refreshing conceptual analysis of ugliness in art. The second considers the history of ugliness in art and literature with special attention to its role in Christian art and its central place in modern and contemporary art. The third synthesizes earlier material offering a taxonomy of beautiful ugliness derived from Hegelian philosophical categories. Roche mesmerizes the reader with an extraordinary range of literary scholarship and expertise with a particular focus on English Latin and German literature and with a broad range of analyzed phenomena including fine arts architecture and music. Including 63 color illustrations Beautiful Ugliness will draw in readers from multiple disciplines as well as those from beyond the academy who wish to make sense of today’s complex art world. hardcover

Not just another jeremiad against prevailing isms and orthodoxies Why Literature Matters in the 21st Century examines literature in its connection to virtue and moral excellence. The author is concerned with literature as the teacher of virtue. The current crisis in the humanities Mark William Roche argues may be traced back to the separation of art and morality. "When the distinction between is and ought is leveled" he writes "the power of the professions increases." The arts and humanities concern themselves with the fate and prospects of humankind. Today that fate and those prospects are under the increasing influence of technology. In a technological age literature gains in importance precisely to the extent that our sense of intrinsic value is lost. In its elevation of play and inexhaustible meaning literature offers a counterbalance to reason and efficiency. It helps us grasp the ways in which diverse parts form a comprehensive and complex whole and it connects us with other ages and cultures. Not least great literature grapples with the ethical challenges of the day. paperback
