Abstract:
By taking an interdisciplinary approach — with methods drawn from narratology,
aesthetics, social psychology, education, and the empirical study of
literature — The Art of Sympathy in Fiction will interest scholars in a
variety of fields. Its focus is the sympathetic effects of stories, and the
possible ways these feelings can contribute to what has been called the “moral
imagination.” Part I examines the dynamics of readers’ beliefs regarding
fictional characters and the influence of those impressions on the emotions
that readers experience. The book then turns its attention to sympathy,
providing a comprehensive definition and considering the ways in which it
operates in life and in literature. Part I concludes with a discussion of the
narratological and rhetorical features of fictional narratives that
theoretically elicit sympathy in readers. Part II applies these theories to
four stories that persuade readers to sympathize with characters who seem
unsympathetic. Finally, based on empirical findings from the responses of
adolescent readers, Part III considers pedagogical approaches that can help
students reflect on emotional experiences that result from reading fiction.
