Annotation
Drawing upon several years of relevance-theoretic research on a cognitive account of poetic effects, P. provides a convincing picture of the mental processes and representations involved in interpreting literary texts, and addresses the difficult issue of how subtler nonpropositional feelings and emotions are felt by the reader.
