Poetry And Imagined Worlds Paperback / softback
Edited by Olga V. Lehmann, Nandita Chaudhary, Ana Cecilia Bastos, Emily Abbey
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Creativity and Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores the deep, imaginative, and creative power of poetry as part of the human experience. How poetry provides insight into human psychology is a question at the beginning of its theoretical development, and is a constant challenge for cultural psychologists and the humanities alike.
Poetry functions, in all ages and cultures, as a rite that merges the beauty, truth and the unbearable conditions of existence. Both the general and the particular can be found in its expression. Collectively the authors aim to evoke a holistic understanding of what poetry conveys about decision making and the human search for meaning.
This ground-breaking collection will be indispensable to scholars of clinical and theoretical psychology, philosophy, anthropology, literature, aesthetics and sociology.
