Abstract:

How do we experience poetry as readers? What is it in the text that provokes
particular reactions, and how can we methodologically reveal these effects?

Introducing an evidence-based approach to poetics, this book explores the
psychological effects of poetic form and content, with an emphasis on how real
readers respond to and experience poetry. Engaging with texts from diverse
cultural and historical settings, it covers the basics of stylistic theory
while at the same time outlining the specific methods required to categorize
readers' cognitive, emotional and attitudinal reactions. Chapters guide you
through engaging experiments, covering key concepts such as significance,
averages, deviation, outliers and reliability, and bring poetry to life by
drawing on YouTube performances and musical renditions of the texts.

With further readings, a glossary of key terms and ancillary resources
providing an overview of research methodology, this book equips you with all
the linguistic and analytical tools needed to uncover the psychological
workings of poetry.
