Are you a writer in the fields of literary analysis, health humanities or neuroscience?

The Routledge Literary BRAIN (Brain-Related Academic Investigations of Narratives) Focus Series combines the language of literary criticism with neurocognitive and health humanities methodologies or explanatory frameworks, providing an innovative way of blending literary analysis with health humanities and neurocognitive approaches. 

This exciting BRAIN series is designed to convene conversations across interdisciplinary knowledges, covering all fiction and nonfiction sub-genres such as poetry, drama, novels, short-stories, memoirs, (auto)biographies, essays, etc. 

The single-author monographs of the Routledge Literary BRAIN Focus Series will be capped at 50,000 words, thus providing readers with short introductions to complex, multilayered concepts which will be extended into ground-breaking analyses and perspectives. Authors will be expected to make this wealth of information accessible to an erudite lay audience as well as to undergraduate students engaged with cognitive literary studies and the health humanities. The series aims to offer a bird’s eye view of current debates, theories, and viewpoints in the field while introducing the latest developments.
