Description
Stories can evoke powerful emotions and inspire strong reactions. But what happens in our brains when we experience these responses? This book explores how our minds process literature by examining the latest scientific understanding of the brain. Collaborating authors from different fields, including neuroscience and literary criticism, delve into key concepts and apply them to a range of literary texts. The book examines how literature taps into deep structures of memory and emotion that are fundamental to human experience. By exploring these connections, it sheds new light on our relationship with stories and the ways in which they shape us. This insightful exploration will be of interest to readers from various backgrounds and disciplines.
