S3 – 3. Tone Selboe: The 19th-Century Novel and Situations of Sympathy
In this episode, Karin Kukkonen interviews Tone Selboe, Professor in Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo, about her research on feelings in the "big" 19th-century novels, such as Anna Karenina. They adress so-called 'situations of sympathy', how these novels relate to our socially contingent everyday emotions, how they explore the possibility of sympathy — and in which way the legacy from the 19th-century novel is carried on today.

Ali Smith's Seasonal quartet: Autumn (2016), Winter (2017), Spring (2019), and Summer (2020)
