Cognitive science, with its guiding metaphor of the mind as a
computer, has made substantial progress towards an understanding of
how people comprehend and produce discourse. The essays in this
book apply these insights to problems in the interpretation of
literature. The first two chapters present the outline of a
cognitive theory of discourse and use it to shed light on some
classic issues in literary theory, including the roles of the
author's intention and the reader's brief systems in the meaning of
a literary work. The next three chapters are more technical
investigations of discourse interpretation, metaphor, and discourse
coherence. The framework developed is then used in the examination
of two literary works, a sonnet by Milton and the novella Sylvie by
Gerard de Nerval.
