Building on the notion of fiction as communicative act, this collection brings together an interdisciplinary range of scholars to examine the evolving relationship between authors and readers in fictional works from 18th-century English novels through to contemporary digital fiction.The book showcases a diverse range of contributions from scholars in stylistics, rhetoric, pragmatics, and literary studies to offer new ways of looking at the "author–reader channel," drawing on work from Roger Sell, Jean-Jacques Lecercle, and James Phelan. The volume traces the evolution of its form across historical periods, genres, and media, from its origins in the conversational mode of direct address in 18th-century English novels to the use of second-person narratives in the 20th century through to 21st-century digital fiction with its implicit requirement for reader participation. The book engages in questions of how the author–reader channel is shaped by different forms, and how this continues to evolve in emerging contemporary genres and of shifting ethics of author and reader involvement.This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars interested in the intersection of pragmatics, stylistics, and literary studies.

This volume is the first book-length study of 21st-century English-language cringe humor on screen and in digital media. The book includes quantitative and qualitative analyses of verbal and multimodal cringe humor by international linguists interested in its conditions of emergence and success. It examines the sociocultural variables involved in its reception and sheds new light on audience reactions—from alignment to disaffiliation and resistance to empathy. This book reveals that, while not unanimously championed, cringe humor thrives in the 21st century, drawing on its inherent ambivalence and leveraging the affordances of new media to navigate the post-politically correct ethical complexities of laughing at embarrassing behavior. With its cross-disciplinary, pragmatically grounded approach, this book will interest scholars and students in Linguistics, Media and Cultural Studies, and Psychology.
