Since Speech in the English Novel first appeared in 1973, it has
won international recognition as an important pioneering study of a
topic that lies on the frontiers of literature and linguistics -
the nature and function of fictional dialogue and its relationship
to real speech. Drawing on a wide range of examples from many
periods, the book includes general and theoretical chapters and
also case-studies of particular texts, as well as a whole chapter
devoted to Dickens. It has been found stimulating and useful by
teachers and students in many countries, and has been praised by
numerous scholars. The Year's Work in English Studies described it
as a 'classic'; Studia Neophilologica said that it 'opened up new
vistas for research'; Language and Style found that it 'admirably
bridges the gap between linguistics and English studies', and
English Studies judged it 'a thoroughly readable and even
entertaining book'. This new edition incorporates numerous
revisions, new examples, and additions to the bibliographies.
