The popular sensation novel thus should be understood as a key contribution to the novel's assessment of its own workings, especially the ways in which reading and writing figure as affective acts. Additionally, the book radically expands the field of sensation fiction, taking seriously lesser-known female authors, and reading them alongside a range of writers not typically considered sensational. These novels insist that feelings are not bound to a single body and that bodies generate meaning when they are put in relation to other bodies and systems of knowledge"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 194-207) and index. 505 0 $a Preface: Centring sensationalism -- Introduction: Hyperrealism and Victorian affects -- 1.
