Distributed Cognition in Victorian Culture and Modernism

A period of inward and outward expansion, of conflict and suspicion, of innovation and alienation, a time that underscored the continuities of life, mind, and society. As this exciting collection shows, we find in Victorian and modernist culture not just a prefiguration, but the very roots of distributed cognition. * Ezequiel A. Di Paolo, Ikerbasque, Basque Foundation for Science. *
Offers diverse, engaging discussions of the aesthetics of distributed cognition: fresh analyses of modernism and its antecedents are ingeniously developed from views of 'art and literature as both expressing, and reflecting on, our cognitively embodied life'. * Randall Stevenson, University of Edinburgh *
