Summary:

"This book builds upon interdisciplinary research in emotion studies, Bakhtinian discourse analysis, and narrative theory to develop a new way of reading emotion in narrative prose works. Rethinking Feeling examines the literary renegotiation of emotion at the Jahrhundertwende, the turn of the century, a period of rapid cultural change when 19th-century moral values were destabilized and ideas about how one should think and feel became contested topics of debate. Rethinking Feeling interprets influential works by Thomas Mann, Lou Andreas Salomé, Theodor Fontane, and Hedwig Dohm and its analysis offers a new way of understanding the role of emotion in literary and cultural history"-- Provided by publisher.
