Empathy and the Novel
Does reading novels cultivate our sympathetic imagination and real-world good citizenship? Keen finds the case for altruistic consequences of novel reading unpersuasive. This book engages with neuroscience and psychology, centering cognitive literary studies' scrutiny of fiction on affect, and theorizing narrative empathy through proposals about its deployment and results.
