No stickers or labels visible. A landmark work in literary and aesthetic theory, The Seamless Web argues that language, thought, and artistic experience are inseparable strands of a single biological and creative continuum. Stanley Burnshaw draws on biology, anthropology, and poetics to present a sweeping vision of how the human creature's physical nature shapes and is shaped by the arts. Written with intellectual rigour and lyrical conviction, the book challenges the artificial boundaries between science and the humanities, between body and mind. It remains a profound and original contribution to our understanding of poetry, perception, and what it means to be a meaning-making creature in the world.
