It paradoxically gives readers a feeling of closeness and intimacy while being puzzling and obscure. Critical interpretations of Dickinson's poems tend to focus on what they mean rather than on what kind of experience they create. A cognitive approach to literary criticism, based on recent cognitive research, helps readers experience and understand the hows and whys of what a poem is saying and doing. These include cognitive linguistic analysis, versification, prosody, cognitive metaphor, schema, blending, and iconicity, all of which explain the sensory, motor, and emotive processes that motivate Dickinson’s conceptualizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy experiencing Dickinson’s poetry from a cognitive perspective, readers are able to better understand why we feel so close to the poet and why her poetry endures. \u003ci\u003eEmily Dickinson's Poetic Art: A Cognitive Reading\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to the study of a major American poet as well as to the vibrant field of cognitive literary studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223694365016,"sku":"9781501398193","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501398193.jpg?v=1770275735","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/emily-dickinsons-poetic-art","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
