or over a decade, The New York Public Library and Oxford
University Press have annually invited a prominent figure in the
arts and letters to give a series of lectures on a topic of his or her
choice. Subsequently these lectures become the basis of a book
jointly published by the Library and the Press. For 2002 and 2003
the two institutions asked seven noted writers, scholars, and critics
to offer a “meditation on temptation” on one of the seven deadly
sins.
Envy
by Joseph Epstein is the first book from this lecture series.
