What does it mean to say that we appreciate rhythm in literature? To answer this question Chapter 22 adopts a two-fold approach: first, it sheds light on the ways in which readers attend to rhythm in literature, and second, it calls for a re-evaluation of certain common assumptions concerning literary aesthetic experience and appreciation. The chapter analyzes the impact of different forms of attention within aesthetic experiences, and through this aims to expose and enlighten the overlooked roles of rhythmic auditory-imagining within our experiences of literary works.
