The tilt of a head, the quirk of an eyebrow, or a shift in
position can eloquently portray a wide range of emotions without a
single word being spoken. Body language is a critical component of
everyday communication, yet the importance of body language, or
non-verbal communication, in such a verbal medium as literature has
not been fully studied.
In "Body Language in Literature," Barbara Korte has produced an
important interdisciplinary study, by establishing a general theory
that accounts for the varieties of body language encountered in
literary narrative, based on a general history of the phenomenon in
the English language. By focusing major works of literature,
including stories by D.H. Laurence, Margaret Atwood, and J.D.
Salinger, Korte shows body language to be a vital, yet unexplored
method of communication in literature.
