E.M. Forster's Aspects of the Novel is an innovative and effusive treatise on a literary form that, at the time of publication, had only recently begun to enjoy serious academic consideration. First given as a series of lectures at Cambridge University, Aspects of the Novel is Forster's analysis of this great literary form. Here he rejects the 'pseudoscholarship' of historical criticism - 'that great demon of chronology' - that considers writers in terms of the period in which they wrote and instead asks us to imagine the great novelists working together in a single room. He discusses aspects of people, plot, fantasy and rhythm, making illuminating comparisons between novelists such as Proust and James, Dickens and Thackeray, Eliot and Dostoyevsky - the features shared by their books and the ways in which they differ. Written in a wonderfully engaging and conversational manner, this penetrating work of criticism is full of Forster's habitual irreverence, wit and wisdom. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group.Show book

The bandwagon effect is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when people tend to align their opinions, behaviors, or preferences with the majority or popular opinion, often without critically evaluating the subject at hand. This effect is driven by the inherent desire to fit in, avoid conflict, and adhere to social norms. The term "bandwagon" originally emerged in the 19th century, with its roots in political campaigns where politicians would refer to a parade or vehicle that people would literally "jump onto" once it gained popularity. Over time, it evolved to describe the broader tendency to follow the crowd, especially in decision-making processes. The bandwagon effect is grounded in the psychology of conformity, which has been extensively studied. Humans are social beings, and much of our behavior is influenced by the groups we belong to. From childhood, individuals learn to adopt behaviors and opinions based on what is seen as acceptable or desirable within their social circles. This need to belong can be so strong that individuals may forego independent thought in favor of adopting the views of others, even when these views may not align with their personal beliefs or values. One of the primary drivers of the bandwagon effect is the desire for social approval. People often feel that aligning with popular opinion will grant them a sense of acceptance and belonging within a group. Additionally, there is a cognitive bias at play. When individuals perceive that a particular opinion or behavior is widely held, they may believe that it is correct or valid, simply because others hold it. This is closely related to the concept of social proof, where individuals look to others as a guide in uncertain situations. The more people who adopt a certain belief, the more likely others are to follow, creating a cycle of reinforcement.Show book
