 | Compassion''s Edge Compassion's Edge traces the relation between compassion and toleration after France's Wars of Religion. This is not, however, a story about compassion overcoming difference but one of compassion reinforcing division. It provides a robust corrective to today's hope that fellow-feeling draws us inexorably and usefully together. Katherine Ibbett is Professor of French at the University of Oxford and Caroline de Jager Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. |
