- Summary:
- In 12 original essays, this collection aims to present new scholarship in the fields of modernist literature, film, dance, visual art, architecture, and design emerging in the light of theory's 'affective turn'. Essays draw on a diverse range of affective theories to examine such concepts as happiness, melancholy, love, sympathy, cuteness, fear, trauma, and bliss in works by Proust, Ford Madox Ford, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf among others.
