Description
Brad Pasanek's Metaphors of Mind is an in-depth exploration of how Enlightenment writers used metaphors to describe the mind. Drawing from his online archive, this comprehensive dictionary presents a vast collection of literary excerpts grouped into eleven broad metaphorical categories.
The book offers a unique approach to understanding eighteenth-century writing by combining traditional scholarship with digital analysis. Pasanek's "desultory reading" method provides a nuanced examination of fragmentary literary works and challenges prevailing theories of metaphor, including those related to Locke and Abrams.
