| Abstract | "This book uses cognitive literary theory, specifically the approach known as enactive reading, to investigate why a work that was exceedingly popular among elite readers in antiquity has failed to receive the same reception by modern scholars. The study focuses on the first section of The Shepherd known as the Book of Visions, which narrates Hermas's visionary experiences in first-person voice"-- Provided by publisher. |
