 | Literature and Transformation: A Narrative Study of Life-Changing Reading Experiences This book develops a method called intimate reading to investigate how ordinary readers are deeply moved by what they read, and the transformative impact such experiences have on their sense of self. The book presents unique narratives of such experiences and suggests a theory of transformative affective patterns that may form the basis of an affective literary theory. Thor Magnus Tangerås is an associate professor of rhetoric at Kristiania University College, Oslo. He teaches courses in rhetoric and narrative methods. |
