Shakespeare and Conceptual Blending

Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of cognitive theory and Shakespeare's artistry, this study reveals how the playwright's storytelling, wit, and poetry exemplify conceptual blending. It examines his skillful fusion of diverse plot elements and compression of incidents to enhance dramatic illusion. The analysis delves into the role of incongruities and varying perspectives in his wit, as well as how blending creates unique meanings in poetic expression. This book is invaluable for scholars and students of Shakespeare and cognitive theory, along with those interested in cognitive processes in literature.
