- Title
Novel Devotions: Conversional Reading, Computational Modeling, and the Modern Novel.
- Authors
Piper, Andrew
- Abstract
The author talks about the modern novel and how readers are transformed by its gestural and affective structures and how computational modeling is used to understand this conversional reading. Topics include the text's transformative force and the conjunction between narrative technique, the technology of the codex, and personal conversion as presented in philosopher and theologian Augustine's "Confessions," and Augustine's impact on modern autobiography.
