How do we experience poetry as readers? What is it in the text that
provokes particular reactions, and how can we methodologically
reveal these effects? Introducing an evidence-based approach to
poetics, this book explores the psychological effects of poetic
form and content, with an emphasis on how real readers respond to
and experience poetry. Engaging with texts from diverse cultural
and historical settings, it covers the basics of stylistic theory
while at the same time outlining the specific methods required to
categorize readers' cognitive, emotional and attitudinal reactions.
Chapters guide you through engaging experiments, covering key
concepts such as significance, averages, deviation, outliers and
reliability, and bring poetry to life by drawing on YouTube
performances and musical renditions of the texts. With further
readings, a glossary of key terms and ancillary resources providing
an overview of research methodology, this book equips you with all
the linguistic and analytical tools needed to uncover the
psychological workings of poetry.
