Focusing on embodied experience and the materialization of thought in poetry, novels, art, and religion, the literary scholars in this collection offer new and intriguing readings of these canonical authors. Informed by contemporary currents such as new materialism, cognitive studies, media theory, and post-secularism, their essays demonstrate the volatility of the core ideas opened up by materialism and the possibilities of an aesthetic vitalism of form."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFrench literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophy in literature 606 $aMaterialism in literature 606 $aVitalism in literature 606 $aAesthetics in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophy in literature. 615 0$aMaterialism in literature. 615 0$aVitalism in literature. 615 0$aAesthetics in literature. 700 $aMcMurran$b Mary Helen$f1962-$0904314 912 $a9910136397703321 996 $aMind, body, motion, matter$92021999 997 $aUNINA
