Uttering the Unutterable explores how we use literature as an honorific term to describe texts that are so overpowering that the encounter with meaning exceeds the capacities of ordinary language. Through a new reading of Aristotelian philosophy, Groarke identifies an experience of transcendence as the defining criterion of literature.
