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. 410 0$aTheory/culture series. 606 $aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNonverbal communication in literature 606 $aBody language in literature 606 $aHuman body in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNonverbal communication in literature. 615 0$aBody language in literature. 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 676 $a823.009/353 700 $aKorte$b Barbara$f1957-$01024473 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456195603321 996 $aBody language in literature$92434822 997 $aUNINA
