This course introduces a theory of emotions and novels whose successes have rested on readers’ affective responses. We begin by reviewing theories from the seventeenth century on meanings and significance of emotions. Each week, we focus on the nature of a specific emotion, such as melancholy, fear and happiness. Ranging from the seventeenth to twenty-first century, our reading list will include Aphra Behn, Jane Austen, Horace Walpole, Ruth Ozeki, besides more recent texts that focus on the science of emotion.
