But how do novels cultivate that feeling? Where exactly does experience reside? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Location of Experience\u003c\/i\u003e argues that, paradoxically, novels create experience for us not by bringing reality up close, but by engineering environments in which we feel constrained from acting. By excavating the history of the rise of experience as an important category of Victorian intellectual life, this book reveals how experience was surprisingly tied to emotions of remorse and regret for some of the era's great women novelists: the Bront?s, George Eliot, Margaret Oliphant, and Elizabeth Gaskell. It shows how these writers passed ideas about experience--and experiences themselves--among each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on intellectual history, psychology, and moral philosophy, \u003ci\u003eThe Location of Experience\u003c\/i\u003e shows that, through manipulating the psychological dimensions of fiction's formal features, Victorian women novelists produced a philosophical account of experience that rivaled and complemented that of the male philosophers of the period. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Location of Experience: Victorian Women Writers, the Novel, and the Feeling of Living \u003ci\u003eis available from Knowledge Unlatched on open-access basis.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdela Pinch\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English at the University of Michigan.
