Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the imaginative and aesthetic experiences poetry arouses, exploring the individual differences in how people imagine and their emotional responses to poetry. The author conducted a series of experiments, asking subjects to read poetry aloud and silently and then report on their imagery and emotional reactions. The results show that individual differences in imagery are striking and impact the reader's emotional reactions to the poetry. The book also discusses the significance of the inner speech and its role in the aesthetic experience of poetry and concludes that the insights gained from this study illuminate the complex relationship between imagination, emotion, and the appreciation of poetry.
