✦ Synopsis

matravers Examines How Emotions Form The Bridge Between Our Experience Of Art And Of Life. We Often Find That A Particular Poem, Painting, Or Piece Of Music Carries An Emotional Charge; And We May Experience Emotions Toward, Or On Behalf Of, A Particular Fictional Character. Matravers Shows That What These Experiences Have In Common, And What Links Them To The Expression Of Emotion In Non-artistic Cases, Is The Role Played By Feeling. He Carries Out A Critical Survey Of Various Accounts Of The Nature Of Fiction, Attacks Contemporary Cognitivist Accounts Of Expression, And Offers An Uncompromising Defense Of A Controversial View About Musical Expression: That Music Works By Expressing The Emotions It Causes Its Listeners To Feel.
