    A study of 'texture', a key feature of literary reading.

  • Product Description

    Texture is the latest advance in cognitive poetics. The book grafts feeling and embodied experience onto insights concerning meaningfulness, which the cognitive approach to literature has put forward. Through the key concepts of characterization, tone, empathy, and identification, among others, this book describes the natural experience of literary reading in a thorough and principled way. Accessible and informatively written, Texture combines stylistics, psycholinguistics, critical theory, and neurology to explore the nature of reading as a verbal art, pioneering a new cognitive aesthetics of literature.
