SynopsisThe author examines the relevance of schema theory to literary theory and the analysis of literary texts. Schema theory suggests that people understand texts and experience by comparing them with stereotypical mental representations of similar cases; the new experince is then processed in terms of its deviation from that structure or its conformity to it. The book concludes with a section on pedagogical implications and analysis of three well-known literary texts., This study examines the relevance of schema theory to literary theory and the analysis of literary texts.
