Reviews
"Cross-fertilizing stylistics, cognitive linguistics, and narrative theory, this interdisciplinary book addresses a number of blind spots in the study of figurative language, characterization, and consciousness representation in literary narrative. Harding's close readings are an engaging complement to her theoretical discussion." --Marco Caracciolo, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
