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: Hardback
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. This approach encompasses various analytical techniques, such as cognitive linguistic analysis, versification, prosody, cognitive metaphor, schema, blending, and iconicity. These tools shed light on the cognitive processes that drive Dickinson's conceptualizations, revealing the sensory, motor, and emotional dimensions that underpin her poetry. By engaging with Dickinson's poetry through a cognitive lens, readers gain a deeper understanding of why they feel such a strong connection to the poet and why her work continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
