Biography
Daniel Candel is Professor of English literature at the Universidad de Alcalá, Spain. He has published widely in journals such as Poetics Today, Semiotica, English Text Construction and Style.
‘Through the application of the model across genres, CNT emerges as a powerful tool for narrative analysis. . . . Cognitive Narrative Thematics represents an invaluable contribution not only to literary studies but also to any field engaged in narrative analysis. […] the model’s completeness makes it tempting to apply universally. . . . [D]espite its interdisciplinary nature, the author makes the book accessible to a broad audience by clearly introducing and justifying the theories it draws upon. In conclusion, I found Cognitive Narrative Thematics deeply engaging; it is one of those books that enriches the reader with knowledge. For this reason, I consider it a highly recommended work for scholars, students, and anyone engaged in literary theory, or textual, or even multimodal analysis.’
