Text World Theory and Keats‎'‎ Poetry applies advances in cognitive poetics and text world theory to four poems by the nineteenth century poet John Keats‎.‎ It takes the existing text world theory as a starting point and draws on stylistics‎,‎ literary theory‎,‎ cognitive linguistics‎,‎ cognitive psychology and dream theories to explore reading poems in the light of their emphasis on states of desire‎,‎ dreaming and nightmares‎.‎ It accounts for the representation of these states and the ways in which they are likely to be processed‎,‎ monitored and understood‎.‎ Text World Theory and Keats‎'‎ Poetry advances both the current field of cognitive stylistics but also analyses Keats in a way that offers new insights into his poetry‎.‎ It is of interest to stylisticians and those in literary studies‎.‎
