Cognition, Literature, and History models the ways in which
cognitive and literary studies may collaborate and thereby mutually
advance. It shows how understanding of underlying structures of
mind can productively inform literary analysis and historical
inquiry, and how formal and historical analysis of distinctive
literary works can reciprocally enrich our understanding of those
underlying structures. Applying the cognitive neuroscience of
categorization, emotion, figurative thinking, narrativity,
self-awareness, theory of mind, and wayfinding to the study of
literary works and genres from diverse historical periods and
cultures, the authors argue that literary experience proceeds from,
qualitatively heightens, and selectively informs and even reforms
our evolved and embodied capacities for thought and feeling. This
volume investigates and locates the complex intersections of
cognition, literature, and history in order to advance
interdisciplinary discussion and research in poetics, literary
history, and cognitive science.
