About the Author

Michael Burke is a literary scholar whose work explores the relationship between language, cognition, visual representation, and the reading experience. His research brings together literary studies and linguistics, with particular attention to how readers construct viewpoint and meaning through embodied processes. Burke is the author of Picturing Fiction through Embodied Cognition: Drawn Representations and Viewpoint in Literary Texts (Routledge Focus on Linguistics), a study of drawn representations and perspective in literary texts. His writing offers an interdisciplinary perspective on how fiction engages the mind, body, and imagination.
