Description

Cognitive Poetics: An Introduction by Peter Stockwell offers a rigorous approach to literary reading and analysis. This revised edition features updated theory, frameworks, and examples, covering a wide range of literary texts from Old English to contemporary literature. The book introduces different frameworks within cognitive poetics, relating them to specific literary texts, and encourages readers to adopt a fresh approach to understanding literature. With an accessible writing style and reader-focused content, it invites further exploration both individually and in a classroom setting. This thoroughly revised edition includes new chapters on character, text-worlds, immersion, and the resonant power of emotion in literature, making it a valuable resource for students of literary theory and stylistics courses, as well as those studying critical theory, linguistics, and literary studies.
