The Christian Regime of Literary Comfort: From Boethius to Dante 62 3. Towards a Modern Regime of Literary Comfort: Shakespeare and the Failure to Console 110 4.

Provides a deeper understanding of the comforts of reading literature By focusing on a number of significant moments in the interlocking histories of the book s two central concepts ֊ literature and consolation - this study articulates the premises that underlie the assumption that literary writings can bring comfort. What is it in these texts that provides this special experience? How does literature help us to understand what consolation means and the effects it can have on individual readers? The intersecting ideas of literature and consolation, from Homer, Dante, Shakespeare and Flaubert through to Roland Barthes, Denise Riley and Julian Barnes, guide today s readers on how literature provides examples, food for thought and good companionship in times of grief and pain. Taking its cue from the rich history of consolatory thinking, the book shows how writers from different times have explored the potential of their writing to offer solace. The result of these explorations, this book argues, has shaped the history of Western literature decisively.
