Reviews

In this revision of her Leuven PhD thesis (supervised by Pierre van Hecke), Van Loon provides two short introductory chapters sketching recent developments in cognitive linguistics, set alongside contemporary exegetical approaches of genre and metaphor. The juxtaposition leads to fruitful conversation.... This is a compelling book which invites us to take a varifocal view and be drawn back into engagement with a great folk-tale. - Hazel Sherman, in: Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Volume 44, Issue 5, June 2020.
