Reading the Writer's Own Anonymous -- Appendix -- Notes -- Works Cited -- IndexHow can we understand and analyze the primarily unconscious process of writing? In this groundbreaking work of neuro-cognitive literary theory, Ian Lancashire maps the interplay of self-conscious critique and unconscious creativity.Forgetful Muses shows how a writer's own 'anonymous,' that part of the mind that creates language up to the point of consciousness, is the genesis of thought. Those thoughts are then articulated by an author's inner voice and become subject to critique by the mind's 'reader-editor.' The 'reader-editor' engages with the 'anonymous,' which uses this information to formulate new ideas. Drawing on author testimony, cybernetics, cognitive psychology, corpus linguistics, text analysis, the neurobiology of mental aging, and his own experiences, Lancashire's close readings of twelve authors, including Caedmon, Chaucer, Coleridge, Joyce, Christie, and Atwood, serve to illuminate a mystery we all share.AuthorshipPsychological aspectsStyle, LiteraryCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Psychological aspectsCriticismPsychological aspectsPsychology and literatureElectronic books.AuthorshipPsychological aspects.Style, Literary.Creation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Psychological aspects.CriticismPsychological aspects.Psychology and literature.801.92Lancashire Ian222749MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457255103321Forgetful muses2264617UNINA
