Analysing Literature made easy

Tue, 8 Aug 2017 | Review by: Rosalyne M.

This textbook is exceptionally helpful for a University level of criticising and understanding English. It explains all the ways that the parts of a text can be manipulated and adjusted in order to better suit the target audience and desired outcome of a text or utterance. A recommended book for students studying ENG through UNISA.
