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-Francois 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.
