The Seduction of Fiction: A Plea for Putting Emotions Back into Literary Interpretation: Palgrave Studies in Affect Theory and Literary Criticism
Traducere de Carolyne Lee Autor Jean-François Vernayen Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 oct 2016
By meshing psychology with literary analysis, this book inspires us to view the reading of fictional works as an emotional and seductive affair between reader and writer. Arguing that current teaching practices have contributed to the current decline in the study of literature, Jean-François Vernay’s plea brings a refreshing perspective by seeking new directions and conceptual tools to highlight the value of literature. Interdisciplinary in focus and relevant to timely discussions of the vitality between emotion and literary studies, particularly within the contexts of psychology, affect studies, and cognitive studies, this book will open up a space in which the formation of our emotions can be openly examined and discussed.
