And Now I Agree with Joe Adamson!?
Look - I can never forget that an author is a human who lives in a world with more than just stories and narratives, but I thought this post was a great and spirited defence of continuing to look at literature as a largely literary venture. (I think that is what it was!)
I am sure that cognitive science can teach us a good deal. On the other hand, it was pretty clear that it had never occurred to him that, when it came to metaphor, reading someone like Northrop Frye would be a greater benefit to him than his particular discipline would be to us
I'd change 'would' to 'could' and point to these guys as a starting point for the discussion.
