A Theory of Thrills, Sublime and Epiphany in Literature

By Nigel Fabb

Book Overview

A psychological explanation of goosebumps and tears, of the epiphanic experience of seeing something ordinary in a profoundly new way, and of the overwhelming perception of the sublime. These experiences found in life and literature involve a feeling of coming to know something deeply important but impossible to describe.
