This monograph aims to explore the mind-narrative nexus by conducting a cognitive narratological study on the mad minds in fictional narratives. Set on the interface of narrative and cognitive science (cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology and cognitive neuropsychology), it adopts an indirect empirical approach to the fictional representation of madness. The American writer Ken Kesey’s novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is chosen as the primary text of investigation, whereas due consideration is also given to other madness narratives when necessary. This book not only demonstrates the value of reading and rereading literary classics in the modern era, but also sheds light on the studies of cognitive narratology, cognitive poetics, madness narratives and literature in general. Xinran YANG is an associate professor of Linguistics and English Language/Literature at Beijing International Studies University, where she teaches pragmatics, discourse analysis and academic writing, etc. Her major research interests include stylistics, cognitive poetics, narratology and discourse analysis. Her publications include stylistic analysis of literary texts, cognitive poetic studies, cognitive narrative studies and academic writing.

This book examines the difficult relationship between individual intellectual freedom and the legal structures which govern human societies in William Blake’s works, showing that this tension carries a political urgency that has not yet been recognised by scholars in the field. In doing so, it offers a new approach to Blake’s corpus that builds on the literary and cultural historical work of recent decades. Blake’s pronouncements about law may often sound biblical in tone; but this book argues that they directly address (and are informed by) eighteenth-century legal debates concerning the origin of the English common law, the autonomy of the judicature, the increasing legislative role of Parliament, and the emergence of the notions of constitutionalism and natural rights. Through a study of his illuminated books, manuscript works, notebook drafts and annotations, this study considers Blake’s understanding that law is both integral to humanity itself and a core component of its potential fulfilment of the ‘Human Form Divine’. Matthew Mauger is Senior Lecturer in English at Queen Mary University of London, UK. His research focuses on the intellectual, literary and commercial life of London in the eighteenth century, with a particular interest in how the administrative frameworks associated with the city – civil, legal, political, financial – provide contexts for literary expression. He is co-author of Stealing Books in Eighteenth-Century London (2016) and of Empire of Tea: The Asian Leaf that Conquered the World (2015).

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Romantic-Era Women’s Writing provides a comprehensive map of the dynamic trans-Atlantic and cross-Channel cultural developments that helped form women’s texts, both manuscript and print, from 1770-1837. The entries cover not only poetry and novels but also women’s contributions to fields such as philosophy and science. The entries themselves are organically inter-disciplinary, since poets, for example, were translating works of natural philosophy, and political commentators were writing novels. In a period before the compartmentalization of intellectual disciplines, many women contributed to multiple fields of knowledge. The encyclopedia crosses national boundaries, as well as disciplinary ones, charting cultural expressions arising from continental Europe, Africa, and the Americas, as well as the British Isles. .

This book explores the relationship between nineteenth-century poetry and liberal philosophy. It carries out a reassessment of the aesthetic possibilities of liberalism and it considers the variety of ways that poetry by William Wordsworth, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Arthur Hugh Clough, George Meredith, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold and Algernon Charles Swinburne responds to and participates in urgent philosophical, social and political debates about liberty and the rule of law. It provides an account of poetry’s intervention into four different sites where liberalism has a stake: the self, the university, married life and the nation state and it seeks to assert the peculiar capacity of poetry to articulate liberal concerns, proposing poetic language as a means of liberal enquiry.
