What happens when we engage with fictional characters? How do our imaginative        engagements bear on our actions in the wider world? Moving between the literary and        the philosophical, Sophie Ratcliffe considers the ways in which readers feel when        they read, and how they understand ideas of feeling.On Sympathy uses dramatic        monologues based on The Tempest as its focus, and broaches questions about fictional        belief, morality, and the dynamics between readers, writers, and fictional        characters. The book challenges conventionally accepted ideas of literary        identification and sympathy, and asks why the idea of sympathy has been seen as so        important to liberal humanist theories of literary value.Individual chapters on        Robert Browning, W. H. Auden, and Samuel Beckett, who all drew on Shakespeare's late        play, offer new readings of some major works, while the book's epilogue tackles        questions of contemporary sympathy. Ranging from the nineteenth century to the        present day, this important new study sets out to clarify and challenge current        assumptions about reading and sympathetic belief, shedding new light on the idea and        ideal of sympathy, the workings of affect and allusion, and theethics of        reading.
