- Zusatztext
- <p><span>Excavating Stephen King: A Darwinist Hermeneutic Study of the Fiction</span><span> combines approaches from science and literary theory to examine the canon of Stephen Kings fiction work in a single critical study. James Arthur Anderson has devised the concept of Darwinist Hermeneutics as a critical tool to combine evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, biology, and literary Darwinism with other more conventional critical theory, including structuralism, narratology, semiotics, and linguistic analysis. Using this theory, Anderson examines Kings works in terms of archetypes and mythology, human universals, affective emotions, and the organization of story to create maximum suspense. This method brings new insights into Kings stories and broader implications for storytelling as a whole.</span></p><p></p>
