Literary knowledge is a new way of thinking about literature, involving the application of cognitive linguistics and psychology to literary texts. This book is the first introductory text of this growing field.

In Cognitive Poetry: Introduction, the reader is encouraged to re-evaluate the categories used to understand literary reading and analysis. Covering a wide range of literary genres and historical periods, the book covers both American and European approaches.

Each chapter explores a different cognitive framework and poetry and links it to literary text. Including a range of activities, discussion points and suggestions for further reading and glossarial index, the book is both interactive and highly available.

Cognitive poetry: Introduction is a basic reading of the students on literary literary styles and roles, and will be of interest to all those involved in literary studies, critical theory and linguistics.

I want that book.
