Psyche and the Literary Muses focuses on the psychology of literature from an empirical point of view, rather than the more typical psychoanalytic
position, and concentrates on literary content rather than readers or writers.
The book centres on the author's quantitative studies of brief literary and quasi-literary forms, ranging from titles of short stories and names of
literary characters to clich?s and quotations from literary sources, in demonstrating their contribution to the topics of learning, perception, thinking,
emotions, creativity, and especially person perception and aging. More broadly, Psyche bears on literary studies, art, and psychology in general, as well
as interdisciplinarity.
The book deepens scholars, academics, and general readers' understanding and appreciation of literature.
