This book considers how 'affect', the experience of feeling or
emotion, has developed as a critical concept within literary
studies in different periods and through a range of approaches.
Stretching from the classical to the contemporary, the first
section of the book, 'Origins', considers the importance of
particular areas of philosophy, theory, and criticism that have
been important for conceptualizing affect and its relation to
literature. Includes ancient Greek and Roman philosophy,
eighteenth-century aesthetics, Marxist theory, psychoanalysis,
queer theory, and postcolonial theory. The chapters of the second
section, 'Developments', correspond to those of the previous
section and build on their insights through readings of particular
texts. The final 'Applications' section is focused on contemporary
and future lines of enquiry, and revolves around a particular set
of concerns: media and communications, capitalism, and an
environment of affective relations that extend to ecology, social
crisis, and war.
