This volume, part of the Humanities and Human Flourishing series, asks the question: what do literary scholars contribute to the often science-focused fields related to happiness and flourishing? The essays in this volume reflect on how the kinds of literary research the contributors themselves are doing, the kinds of work to which they are personally committed, might become part of an interdisciplinary conversation about human flourishing.
