Literary style is something many people talk about, but few could
define. Yet it is crucial for our response to narrative art. Style
can facilitate or obscure the events of a story or the motivations
of a character, enhance the aesthetic appeal of a narrative or
complicate its emotional impact, and even inflect the political or
ethical implications of a work. It is precisely this complex
operation of style that Patrick Colm Hogan explains in Style in
Narrative. Drawing on recent psychological research, this book
proposes a new and clear definition of style and provides a
systematic theoretical account of style in relation to cognitive
and affective science. Hogan's definition stresses that style
varies by both scope, or the range of text or texts that may share
a style, and level, the components of an individual work that might
involve a shared style. The book uses rich examples from
literature, film, and graphic fiction, including analysis of
Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Shakespeare's canon, William
Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, and Art Spiegelman's Maus, as well as
visual analysis of films by Robert Rodriguez, Deepa Mehta, Eric
Rohmer, M.F.Husain, Yasujiro Ozu, and Chuan Lu. Through these
studies Hogan identifies stylistic concerns common across mediums
as well as the most consequential stylistic differences between
them. Bringing together three often separated mediums within a
coherent framework, Style in Narrative makes an important
contribution to and necessary intervention in the field of
stylistics.
