Reviews

Thanks to this new volume, cognitive literary studies has progressed one step further. - Inger S. B. Brodey, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jane Austen and Sciences of the Mind richly reveals the power of cognitive literary studies, its need to embrace evolutionary perspectives, and the mutual benefits of integrating the arts, the humanities, and the sciences. - Brian Boyd, Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture. Jane Austen specialists will, I'm sure, find in this book many insights into the novels and also much to interest them about the current state of cognitive science. Overall, the standard of the writing is high and the chapters by Nelles, Richardson, and Hogan are outstanding. - Alan Palmer, Review19.org.
