This open access collection of essays examines the literary advice
industry since its emergence in Anglo-American literary culture in
the mid-nineteenth century within the context of the
professionalization of the literary field and the continued debate
on creative writing as art and craft. Often dismissed as commercial
and stereotypical by authors and specialists alike, literary advice
has nonetheless remained a flourishing business, embodying the
unquestioned values of a literary system, but also functioning as a
sign of a literary system in transition. Exploring the rise of new
online amateur writing cultures in the twenty-first century, this
collection of essays considers how literary advice proliferates
globally, leading to new forms and genres.
How do narratives draw on our memory capacity? How is our attention
guided when we are reading a literary narrative? What kind of
empathy is triggered by intercultural novels? A cast of
international scholars explores these and other questions from an
interdisciplinary perspective in Stories and Minds, a collection of
essays that discusses cutting-edge research in the field of
cognitive narrative studies. Recent findings in the philosophy of
mind and cognitive psychology, among other disciplines, are
integrated in fresh theoretical perspectives and illustrated with
accompanying analyses of literary fiction. Pursuing such topics as
narrative gaps, mental simulation in reading, theory of mind, and
folk psychology, these essays address fundamental questions about
the role of cognitive processes in literary narratives and in
narrative comprehension. Stories and Minds reveals the rich
possibilities for research along the nexus of narrative and mind.
