LEWIS CARROLLS ALICE AND COGNITIVE NARRATOLOGY ...

We live in an age that is witnessing a growing interest in narrative studies  cognitive
neuroscientific tools  mind studies and artificial intelligence hypotheses. This book therefore
aims to expand the exegesis of Carroll's Alice books  aligning them with the current
intellectual environment. The theoretical force of this volume lies in the successful encounter
between a great book (and all its polysemous ramifications) and a new interpretative point of
view  powerful enough to provide a new original contribution  but well grounded enough not to
distort the text itself. Moreover  this book is one of the first to offer a complete  thorough
analysis of one single text through the theoretical lens of cognitive narratology  and not just
as a series of brief examples embedded within a more general discussion. It emphasises in a
more direct  effective way the actual novelty and usefulness of the dialogue established
between narrative theory and the cognitive sciences. It links specific concepts elaborated in
the theory of cognitive narratology with the analysis of the Alice books  helping in this way
to discuss  question and extend the concepts themselves  opening up new interpretations and
practical methods.
