Representing the latest advance in cognitive poetics, this book
builds feeling and embodied experience on to the insights into
meaningfulness which the cognitive approach to literature has
achieved in recent years. Taking key familiar concepts such as
characterisation, tone, empathy, and identification, the book
describes the natural experience of literary reading in a thorough
and principled way. Accessibly and informatively written, "Texture"
draws on stylistics, psycholinguistics, critical theory and
neurology to explore the nature of reading verbal art. The result
is a new cognitive aesthetics of literature for its academic,
student, professional and natural readers.
