Description

Dickensian Affects explores how Charles Dickens's novels model emotional responses to life under capitalism, examining violence, anxiety, surprise, and suspense as narrative forces that shape reader experience. Joshua Gooch argues that Dickens creates specific affective rhythms tied to his historical moment by yoking disparate elements within his fiction to signal distinct kinds and ways of feeling. Through close analysis of affective form, Gooch reveals how Dickens's work illuminates the emotional dissensions that accompany precarious living, offering crucial insights for literary scholars studying nineteenth-century literature, affect theory, and the intersection of emotion and social condition. This Routledge study contributes substantially to contemporary discussions of how narrative structure generates feeling and how historical novels register the anxieties of their era.
