000345306 520__ $$aIn Mimesis and the Human Animal, Robert Storey argues that human culture derives from human biology and that literary representation therefore must have a biological basis. As he ponders the question "What does it mean to say that art imitates life?" he must consider both "What is life?" and "What is art?" Part 1 addresses issues of human biology, psyche, and language; Part 2 applies the model sketched out in Part 1 to various narratives: tragedy, comedy, and the novel. A unique approach to the subject of mimesis, Storey's book goes beyond the politicizing of literature grounded in literary theory to develop a scientific basis for the creation of literature and art.
