This handbook reviews efforts to increase the use of empirical
methods in studies of the aesthetic and social effects of literary
reading. The reviewed research is expansive, including extension of
familiar theoretical models to novel domains (e.g., educational
settings); enlarging empirical efforts within under-represented
research areas (e.g., child development); and broadening the range
of applicable quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g.,
computational stylistics; phenomenological methods). Especially
challenging is articulation of the subtle aesthetic and social
effects of literary artefacts (e.g., poetry, film). Increasingly,
the complexity of these effects is addressed in multi-variate
studies, including confirmatory factor analysis and structural
equation modeling. While each chapter touches upon the historical
background of a specific research topic, two chapters address the
area's historical background and guiding philosophical assumptions.
Taken together, the material in this volume provides a systematic
introduction to the area for early career professionals, while
challenging active researchers to develop theoretical frameworks
and empirical procedures that match the complexity of their
research objectives.
