Focusing on embodied experience and the materialization of thought in poetry, novels, art, and religion, the literary scholars in this collection offer new and intriguing readings of these canonical authors. Informed by contemporary currents such as new materialism, cognitive studies, media theory, and post-secularism, their essays demonstrate the volatility of the core ideas opened up by materialism and the possibilities of an aesthetic vitalism of form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Helen McMurran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442650117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442650114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Mary Helen McMurran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013930758399,"sku":"9781442650114","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0bd9ade-f2b7-4e75-b985-288c25709905.jpg?v=1767745659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mind-body-motion-matter-mary-helen-mcmurran-9781442650114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
