Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Stories can inspire love, anger, fear and nostalgia but what is going on in our brains when this happens? 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. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
