Through close reading of the hero-narrator's personal history, the author shows how emotional paradigms (especially separation anxiety), involuntary memory, and other compelling impressions give focus and structure to Proust's novel. Drawing on reader-oriented and emotion theories, she shows how affect commands the attention of the 'motivated reader' and is crucial to the process of self-understanding for both the narrator and the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first extensive study in English to take fully into consideration the drafts (\u003ci\u003eesquisses\u003c\/i\u003e) published in the new Pléiade edition of the novel, the Mauriac edition of \u003ci\u003eAlbertine disparue\u003c\/i\u003e, and material from the unpublished Proust manuscripts - all of which shed further light on the importance of affect in \u003ci\u003eA la recherche\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eProust and Emotion\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to readers interested in an approach to Proust that combines insights from philosophy, psychology, and literary aesthetics and in a poetics of reading that pays particular attention to emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Inge Crosman Wimmers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575864426678,"sku":"9781442678866","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442678866_aa543162-2bb9-4fce-ba0e-75ffb342bda2.jpg?v=1727467169","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/proust-and-emotion-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
