Narrative plays a central role for individual and collective lives – this insight has arguably only grown at a time of multiple social and cultural challenges in the 21st century. The present volume aims to further substantiate the case for literature and narrative, taking inspiration from Vera Nünning’s eminent work over the past decades. Located at the intersection of cognitive and cultural narratology, the book is concerned with the way literature affects individuals, how it works at an intersubjective level, enabling communication and community, and how it furthers social and cultural change.
