Theresa Schilhab

About the Author

Theresa Schilhab is a scholar and author whose work explores the connections between language, cognition, embodiment, and literary representation. Her research examines how readers construct meaning through perspective, visual imagination, and embodied experience, bringing insights from linguistics and cognitive science into conversation with literary studies. In Picturing Fiction through Embodied Cognition: Drawn Representations and Viewpoint in Literary Texts (Routledge Focus on Linguistics), she investigates the ways drawn representations can illuminate viewpoint and narrative understanding. Schilhab’s interdisciplinary approach offers readers a nuanced perspective on how literature engages the mind, body, and senses.
