Affective Narratology: The Emotional Structure of Stories

Patrick Colm Hogan explores how our emotions shape and organize stories, arguing that emotional processes are fundamental to understanding narrative structure.

This book examines the role of emotion in various genres, including romantic, heroic, and sacrificial structures, as well as more limited genres such as parent/child separation and revenge. Through a range of examples from different cultural traditions, Hogan develops interpretations of works like Anna Karenina and African oral epics, integrating the latest research in affective science with narratology to provide a powerful explanatory account of narrative organization.
