A pioneering text in its first edition, this revised publication of
Cognitive Poetics offers a rigorous and principled approach to
literary reading and analysis. The second edition of this seminal
text features: * updated theory, frameworks, and examples
throughout, including new explanations of literary meaning, the
power of reading, literary force, and emotion; * extended examples
of literary texts from Old English to contemporary literature,
covering genres including religious, realist, romantic, science
fictional, and surrealist texts, and encompassing poetry, prose,
and drama; * new chapters on the mind-modelling of character, the
building of text-worlds, the feeling of immersion and ambience, and
the resonant power of emotion in literature; * fully updated and
accessible accounts of Cognitive Grammar, deictic shifts,
prototypicality, conceptual framing, and metaphor in literary
reading. Encouraging the reader to adopt a fresh approach to
understanding literature and literary analyses, each chapter
introduces a different framework within cognitive poetics and
relates it to a literary text. Accessibly written and
reader-focused, the book invites further explorations either
individually or within a classroom setting. This thoroughly revised
edition of Cognitive Poetics includes an expanded further reading
section and updated explorations and discussion points, making it
essential reading for students on literary theory and stylistics
courses, as well as a fundamental tool for those studying critical
theory, linguistics, and literary studies.
