Mark Scott M.A.R. 2003
I have recently published a book entitled The Beauty of Souls: Aesthetic Encounters with Marilynne Robinson. Here’s a nice endorsement that summarizes it well:
“Scott’s The Beauty of Souls presents a carefully insightful and intricately comprehensive close reading of all Marilynne Robinson’s novels. For this alone it deserves praise. But The Beauty of Souls is more than just a literary analysis: it is also a spiritually attentive and deeply compassionate theology of human personhood and divine beauty” (Matthew Ichihashi Potts, Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in the Memorial Church, Harvard University).
