Vortrag

---

This guest lecture discusses the possibility of applying empirical research of beauty to the interpretation of literary works, using Virginia Woolf's novel "Mrs Dalloway" as an example. It discusses new approaches to the assessment of aesthetic experience and engages with important questions concerning the processes of emotion-sharing that is a key function of the production and circulation of literature and art.

Everybody welcome!
