This is the first book to demonstrate the value of prose analysis -
both appreciative and interpretive in its 'evaluations' - across
dozens of authors, including Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Don
DeLillo, and Toni Morrison. The Value of Style in Fiction is
designed not just for students and scholars of the English novel -
and its verbal 'microplots' - but also for anyone interested in
mastering the art of the sentence by 'writing along with' its
finest examplars in a fully descriptive account: a stylistic
challenge in its own right exemplified by Stewart's multifaceted
critical modelling. Beginning with a state-of-the-field survey of
prose poetics, this manual of invested reading concludes with an
'Inventory' of terms (bolded throughout) drawn primarily from
grammar, rhetoric, etymology, and phonetics, but also narratology
and poetic theory: a glossary whose consultation can help cross-map
certain verbal tendencies in literary-historical evolution and its
separate landmark writers.
