  • More about Emily Dickinson's Poetic Art: A Cognitive Reading

It offers readers a fresh and engaging way to experience and understand Dickinsons poetry,based on cognitive research into the sensory,motor,and emotive processes that motivate her conceptualizations.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 256 pages
Publication date: 01 June 2023
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc



Dickinson's poetry is complex and enigmatic, offering readers a sense of intimacy while remaining perplexing and enigmatic. Critical interpretations of her poems often center on their meanings rather than the sensory experiences they evoke. A cognitive approach to literary criticism, informed by recent cognitive research, empowers readers to delve into the intricacies of a poem's language, structure, and imagery, enabling them to comprehend the "how" and "why" behind its expressions.

These cognitive techniques include cognitive linguistic analysis, versification, prosody, cognitive metaphor, schema, blending, and iconicity, each of which sheds light on the sensory, motor, and emotional processes that drive Dickinson's conceptualizations. By approaching Dickinson's poetry from a cognitive perspective, readers gain a deeper understanding of why they feel such a strong connection to the poet and why her poetry continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
