Emperor's New Clothes, The - Literature, Literacy, and the Ideology of Style (Paperback)

Since the Renaissance, what has been considered the \u201cbest\u201d style of writing has always been connected with the dominant cultural agenda of the time. In this book, Kathryn Flannery offers a demystifying perspective on theorists who have argued for an essential distinction between \u201ccontent\u201d and \u201cstyle,\u201d and focuses on the importance of understanding written prose style as a cultural asset. She addresses the development of prose criticism, the evolution of English teaching, the history of Francis Bacon and Richard Hooker's writing, and a modern discourse on stylistics.
