- Description
- Describes the medieval understanding of "faculty psychology"--the three cells or ventricles where imagination, logic, and memory reside--and argues that HF "takes the audience" through the three ventricles, while exploring the creative potential of the persistent "imaginational disharmony." LGWP depicts the "poet's journey through his own noisy mental apparatus," problematizing imaginational disharmony and compelling his audience to explore the efforts and pleasure of interpretation.
