Empathy and the Novel
Keen, Suzanne (Broadus Professor of English, Broadus Professor of English, Washington and Lee University)
Does empathy felt while reading fiction actually cultivate a sense of connection, leading to altruistic actions on behalf of real others? Empathy and the Novel presents a comprehensive account of the relationships among novel reading, empathy, and altruism. Drawing on psychology, narrative theory, neuroscience, literary history, philosophy, and recent scholarship in discourse processing, Keen brings together resources and challenges for the literary study ofempathy and the psychological study of fiction reading.
