The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Literary Studies applies
developments in cognitive science to a wide range of literary texts
that span multiple historical periods and numerous national
literary traditions. The volume is divided into five parts: (1)
Narrative, History, Imagination; (2) Emotions and Empathy; (3) The
New Unconscious; (4) Empirical and Qualitative Studies of
Literature; and (5) Cognitive Theory and Literary Experience. Most
notably, the volume features case studies representing not just
North American and British literary traditions, but also
Argentinian (Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar), Chinese (Cao
Xueqin), Colombian (Garcia Marquez), Dominican (Junot Diaz), German
(Theodore Fontane), French (Marcel Proust, Gustave Flaubert),
Indian (Mirabai, Rabindranath Tagore, Kamala Markandaya, Mani
Ratnam, Tito Mukhopadhyay), Mexican (Fernando del Paso), Polish
(Krystof Kieslowski), Puerto Rican (Giannina Braschi), Russian (Lev
Tolstoi), South African (J. M. Coetzee), and Spanish (Leopoldo
Alas). Moreover, the volume will cover a variety of periods (e.g.,
Renaissance, Eighteenth century, Romantic, Victorian, and
Modernist, and post-modern periods) and genres, including those
associated with popular culture, such as science fiction (China
Mieville), fantasy (Anne Rice), and graphic narratives (Rius's Los
supermachos and Gilbert Hernandez's Troublemakers).
