Publisher Synopsis
"This is an exciting book to read. Cable's Carnal Rhetoric is one of the foremost statements concerning the 'theory' of affective stylistics and the contribution that it provides to our understanding of Milton's writings and, by implication, the writings of others. By positing a sensory, emotional, and affective theory of metaphor and figurative language, Cable strikes out in a radically new direction in Milton studies."-Albert Labriola, Duquesne University Read more...
