Abstract

The article traces the cognitive roots of loco-descriptive form in Scottish author James Thomson's series of four poems titled "The Seasons." Topics covered include the engagement of loco-descriptive poetry with the illusion of literary transportation, the importance of cognitive literary historicism and the opinion that Thomson's thoughts on embodied sensation is a synthesis of autonoetic cognition with early empiricism.
