This work seeks to chart what happens in the embodied minds of
engaged readers when they read literature. Despite the recent
stylistic, linguistic, and cognitive advances that have been made
in text-processing methodology and practice, very little is known
about this cultural-cognitive process and especially about the role
that emotion plays. Burke's theoretical and empirical study focuses
on three central issues: the role emotions play in a core cognitive
event like literary text processing; the kinds of bottom-up and
top-down inputs most prominently involved in the literary reading
process; and what might be happening in the minds and bodies of
engaged readers when they experience intense or heightened
emotions: a phenomenon sometimes labelled "reader epiphany." This
study postulates that there is a free-flow of bottom-up and
top-down affective, cognitive inputs during the engaged act of
literary reading, and that reading does not necessarily begin or
end when our eyes apprehend the words on the page. Burke argues
that the literary reading human mind might best be considered both
figuratively and literally, not as computational or mechanical, but
as oceanic.
