{"product_id":"style-and-emotion-in-comic-agnes-marszalek-9781350283985","title":"Style and Emotion in Comic Novels and Short Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book builds on cognitive stylistics, humour studies and psychological approaches to literature and film to explore the emotional aspects of humorous narrative comprehension. It investigates how the linguistic features of comic novels and short stories (by, for example, Douglas Adams, Joseph Heller and Nick Hornby) can shape readers' experience of comedy, considering the ways in which moods, characters and the plot is used to trigger blends of positive and negative emotion. The book offers an approach to such features of comedy as dark humour, cringe humour and comic suspense, emphasising the relationship between humorous language and mental states which are typically considered serious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgnes Marszalek's focus on the non-humorous side of experiencing comedy offers a key contribution to the study of humorous narratives. By investigating humour as part of a narrative world, this book moves towards addressing the complexity of the experience of humour in narrative texts, providing implications not only for the linguistics of humour, but also for those approaches to discourse comprehension which explore the affective side of engaging with texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnes Marszalek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350283983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350283985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Agnes Marszalek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484967481599,"sku":"9781350283985","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f60bcd80-4126-40d1-a6b8-5e5c67303c87.jpg?v=1778047026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/style-and-emotion-in-comic-agnes-marszalek-9781350283985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
