What's Hecuba to Him?: Fictional Events and Actual Emotions - Literature and Philosophy
Eva M. Dadlez
This work discusses the seeming irrationality or inauthenticity of our emotional response to fiction. Using Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as an example, the book argues that we can understand the relation between cognition and emotion without devaluing our emotional responses to fiction.
