Description
Elaine Auyoung's When Fiction Feels Real explores how readers experience and interpret fictional worlds. By examining narrative techniques and psychological research, she reveals what 19th-century writers know about the reading process.
Auyoung applies this understanding to classic novels by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Leo Tolstoy, and Thomas Hardy, shedding new light on literary language, realist aesthetics, and comprehension. This book changes the way we think about these topics, opening up a new field of inquiry.
