In a book which brings together language, text and context,
Patricia Canning synthesizes models of contemporary stylistics with
both critical and literary-historical theory. In doing so, the
author maintains a specific and sustained stylistic focus on the
religious, political and ideological issues that animated and
defined Reformation England. Each chapter interrogates the
dichotomous concept of 'word' and 'image' by considering the ways
in which writers of this period deal with these contentious
subjects in their dramatic and poetic works.'Representation',
Canning argues, 'is not just as a matter of semiotics but of
ideology'. Whereas stylistics enjoys extensive application in the
analysis of contemporary texts, it has, until now, been markedly
under-used in the exploration of the historical literary genre.
Addressing this shortcoming squarely and robustly, Canning's book
is a showcase for the stylistic method. Among its many insights,
this book shows how stylistics can enrich our understanding and
critical interpretation of a particular literary genre in its
ideological and historical context.
