Emily Dickinson's Poetic Art is both an exciting work of literary
criticism on a central figure in American literature as well as an
invitation for students and researchers to engage with cognitive
literary studies. Emily Dickinson’s poetry can be challenging and
difficult. It paradoxically gives readers a feeling of closeness
and intimacy while being puzzling and obscure. Critical
interpretations of Dickinson's poems tend to focus on what they
mean rather than on what kind of experience they create. A
cognitive approach to literary criticism, based on recent cognitive
research, helps readers experience and understand the hows and whys
of what a poem is saying and doing. These include cognitive
linguistic analysis, versification, prosody, cognitive metaphor,
schema, blending, and iconicity, all of which explain the sensory,
motor, and emotive processes that motivate Dickinson’s
conceptualizations. By experiencing Dickinson’s poetry from a
cognitive perspective, readers are able to better understand why we
feel so close to the poet and why her poetry endures. Emily
Dickinson's Poetic Art: A Cognitive Reading is an important
contribution to the study of a major American poet as well as to
the vibrant field of cognitive literary studies.
