This def pre-dates evo psychs, I think her point about literary moral perspectives is quite interesting though. Some things transcend time

@HPluckrose thank you. I knew the human nature thing predated modern evo psychs. Reading Fielding (legend!) paid off!2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

Being that evo psychs weren't a thing until mid to late c19 the idea pre-dates them by far. Human morality in lit is always interesting!
