Description

The first sustained analysis of a major literary work under the theory of cognitive metaphor. It demonstrates that the novel’s dominant image-schema is that of the circle, a subset of the container schema. The circle schema is projected not only into abstractions in the text but into such larger structural entities as physical and social settings, character, relationships, and the narrative unit of the volume.
