The popular sensation novel thus should be understood as a key contribution to the novel's assessment of its own workings, especially the ways in which reading and writing figure as affective acts. Additionally, the book radically expands the field of sensation fiction, taking seriously lesser-known female authors, and reading them alongside a range of writers not typically considered sensational. These novels insist that feelings are not bound to a single body and that bodies generate meaning when they are put in relation to other bodies and systems of knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tara MacDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399522191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399522199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Tara MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227664347391,"sku":"9781399522199","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc613ffa-6d9c-4c82-baa2-1e4a40748f77.jpg?v=1692809928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narrative-affect-and-victorian-sensation-tara-macdonald-9781399522199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
