Abstract:

This study provides an introduction to the neoclassical debates around how
literature is shaped in concert with the thinking and feeling human mind.
Three key rules of neoclassicism, namely, poetic justice (the rewards and
punishments of characters in the plot), the unities (the coherence of the
fictional world and its extensions through the imagination) and decorum (the
inferential connections between characters and their likely actions), are
reconsidered in light of social cognition, embodied cognition and
probabilistic, predictive cognition. The meeting between neoclassical
criticism and today's research psychology, neurology and philosophy of mind
yields a new perspective for cognitive literary study.

Neoclassicism has a crucial contribution to make to current debates around the
role of literature in cultural and cognition. Literary critics writing at the
time of the scientific revolution developed a perspective on literature the
question of how literature engages minds and bodies as its central concern. A
Prehistory of Cognitive Poetics traces the cognitive dimension of these
critical debates in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain and puts them
into conversation with today's cognitive approaches to literature.
