This book shows how Shakespeare's excellence as storyteller, wit
and poet reflects the creative process of conceptual blending.
Cognitive theory provides a wealth of new ideas that illuminate
Shakespeare, even as he illuminates them, and the theory of
blending, or conceptual integration, strikingly corroborates and
amplifies both classic and current insights of literary criticism.
This study explores how Shakespeare crafted his plots by fusing
diverse story elements and compressing incidents to strengthen
dramatic illusion; considers Shakespeare's wit as involving sudden
incongruities and a reckoning among differing points of view;
interrogates how blending generates the "strange meaning" that
distinguishes poetic expression; and situates the project in
relation to other cognitive literary criticism. This book is of
particular significance to scholars and students of Shakespeare and
cognitive theory, as well as readers curious about how the mind
works.
