Description

Discover how I. A. Richards fundamentally shaped cognitive stylistics in this comprehensive analysis from Bloomsbury Academic. This scholarly work reveals Richards as a protocognitivist who anticipated the discipline's core aims, methods and assumptions decades before cognitive stylistics formally emerged. Explore how Richards drew upon early twentieth century cognitive psychology, engaging with foundational concepts including memory, learning, attention, categorisation, perception and consciousness. West's argument repositions Richards from a conventional literary critic to an intellectual pioneer whose theoretical frameworks directly influenced modern cognitive approaches to literature. Essential reading for scholars, students and researchers studying the history of literary criticism, the development of cognitive science, and the intellectual roots of contemporary stylistic analysis. This academic text bridges historical literary theory with modern cognitive approaches, offering new perspectives on how psychological and linguistic thinking shaped literary scholarship and continues to inform textual interpretation today.

Key Features

Bloomsbury Academic's rigorous analysis connects Richards' theoretical contributions to modern cognitive approaches in literary criticism and stylistic study.
