This book is the first cognitive literary analysis in the field of
medieval French literature. As such, it focuses on the question of
audience in the Old French epic poems known as "chansons de geste."
Bringing to bear evidence from historical, literary, and manuscript
sources, from the perspective of cognitive theory, Leverage
demonstrates that there were multiple, complex audiences of the
poems, and that common to each was a more personal, engaged,
emotive relationship with the poems than has been recognized
previously. Central to the audience's experience of the poems and
to the aesthetic of the genre, is memory, both in the sense of a
cognitive process and as a theory that has occupied the interest of
rhetoricians and philosophers from Antiquity to the present. The
book is of interest to medievalists, cognitive theorists, and
cognitive scientists working in memory-based text processing.
