In Body of Vision, Michael Sinding connects Northrop Frye's
groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the human
imagination with cognitive poetics - the cutting-edge school of
literary criticism that applies the principles of cognitive science
to the interpretation of literary texts and contexts. Sinding
undertakes this task through analyses of the interplay of
metaphoric and narrative schemas in several forms of cultural
mythology. Sinding identifies the profound connections between
cognitive views of language, literature, and culture and Frye's
views by exploring three related aspects of Frye's work - meaning
and thought, culture and society, and literary history. He
investigates these connections through detailed studies of major
cultural texts including Dante's Divine Comedy, Hobbes' Leviathan,
Rousseau's Social Contract, and Milton's "Lycidas." By linking
Frye's classic studies to exciting recent approaches in the
humanities and the cognitive revolution of the past few decades,
Body of Vision casts Frye's achievements in a fascinating new
light.
