And how do our minds conjure up worlds and characters from the words we read on the page? Rapid advances in the scientific understanding of the brain have cast new light on how we engage with literature. This book - collaboratively written by an experienced neuroscientist and literary critic and writer - explores these new insights. Key concepts in neuroscience are first introduced for non-specialists and a range of literary texts by writers such as Ian McEwan, Jim Crace and E.L. Doctorow are read in light of the latest scientific thought on the workings of the mind and brain. Brain, Mind and the Narrative Imagination demonstrates how literature taps into deep structures of memory and emotion that lie at the heart of our humanity. It will be of interest to readers of all sorts and students from both the humanities and the sciences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Narration (Rhetoric) 650 0 $a Neurosciences and the humanities. 650 0 $a Imagination. 700 1 $a Taggart, Ashley, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Comer, Christopher Mark, 1952- $t Brain, mind and the narrative imagination $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2021. $z 9781350127814 $w (DLC) 2020038551 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802021949.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA48DC32CD0111ECB5E908A224ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
