Reading Bodies in Victorian Fiction challenges literary studies to
attend to surfaces rather than interpretation through a history of
how we came to think about emotion, empathy and reading fiction as
intertwined ideas. Against professional readers, writers of popular
fiction argued that emotional reading and sensational novels
cultivated an ethics of care. They turned to Associationism - an
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century science that understood mental
phenomena through physiology - to understand language as a
physiological process that draws bodies together. Emotional reading
cultivated empathy in popular readers, and imbued popular fiction
with cultural value.
