Body language is a critical component of everyday communication, yet the importance of body language, or non-verbal communication, in such a verbal medium as literature has not been fully studied.In Body Language in Literature, Barbara Korte has produced an important interdisciplinary study, by establishing a general theory that accounts for the varieties of body language encountered in literary narrative, based on a general history of the phenomenon in the English language. By focusing major works of literature, including stories by D.H. Laurence, Margaret Atwood, and J.D. Salinger, Korte shows body language to be a vital, yet unexplored method of communication in literature.Theory/culture series.English fictionHistory and criticismNonverbal communication in literatureBody language in literatureHuman body in literatureElectronic books.English fictionHistory and criticism.Nonverbal communication in literature.Body language in literature.Human body in literature.823.009/353Korte Barbara1957-1024473MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456195603321Body language in literature2434822UNINA
