Defoe's Imaginary: Narrative Inference, Figurative Expression, and Spiritual Cognition -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexA highly conscious wordsmith, Daniel Defoe used expository styles in his fiction and non-fiction that reflected his ability to perceive material and intellectual phenomena from opposing, but not contradictory perspectives. Moreover, the boundaries of genre within his wide-ranging oeuvre can prove highly fluid. In this study, Robert James Merrett approaches Defoe's body of work using interdisciplinary methods that recognize dialectic in his verbal creativity and cognitive awareness.Examining more than ninety of Defoe's works, Merrett contends that this author's literariness exploits a conscious dialogue that fosters the reciprocity of traditional and progressive authorial procedures. Along the way, he discusses Defoe's lexical and semantic sensibility, his rhetorical and aesthetic theories, his contrarian theology, and more. Merrett proposes that Defoe's contrarian outlook celebrates a view of consciousness that acknowledges the brain's bipartite structure, and in so doing illustrates how cognitive science may be applied to further explorations of narrative art.LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, WelshbisacshElectronic books.LITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.823/.5Merrett Robert James906419MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465856903321Daniel Defoe2027026UNINA04778nam 2200613 a 450 991077905950332120230725060136.092-2-125443-7(CKB)2550000000087879(EBL)863018(OCoLC)778340027(SSID)ssj0000673283(PQKBManifestationID)11460859(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000673283(PQKBWorkID)10643009(PQKB)10992392(MiAaPQ)EBC863018(Au-PeEL)EBL863018(CaPaEBR)ebr10531012(EXLCZ)99255000000008787920120221d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrChina[electronic resource] from an active employment policy to employment promotion law : coping with economic restructuring and labour market adjustmentsGeneva International Labour Office20111 online resource (85 p.)"Based on a study by the Institute for Labour Studies."92-2-125442-9 Includes bibliographical references.Title page; Copyright page; Foreword; Acknowledgements; Contents; Abbreviations; 1.
