| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines how affect theory can be used for analysing literature on the example of Sylvia Plath’s novel The Bell Jar. The purpose of the thesis is to create a toolkit of affective themes and employ it on analysing The Bell Jar in order to show that affect theory might be a useful tool for analysing fiction as it potentially furthers our understanding of real-life affective problems. The toolkit is created by synthesising various scholarly accounts on affect theory. A secondary purpose of the thesis is to give an analytical overview of how affect has been theorised in the humanities and synthesise a definition of affect suitable for analysing literature. | et |
