Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an
accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study
questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in
the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional'
structure is built around four sections - introduction,
development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained
stages for study. Each topic can be read across these sections,
enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained.
Written in a clear and accessible style, Stylistics, Second Edition
is a comprehensive resource which covers all the major theories,
concepts and methods required for the investigation of language in
literature. From metre to metaphor, dialogue to discourse, the main
topics are introduced and fully elaborated, as are the key research
paradigms of this important and exciting field of study. Stylistics
is richly illustrated with many examples from literary texts,
including writing from the established literary canon alongside
more contemporary work in poetry, prose and drama. Each of the
book's twelve chapters contains clearly framed suggestions for
practical work and is accompanied by an original reading on the
relevant topic by a world-renowned scholar. This exciting new
second edition builds on the strengths of the first by adding many
fresh exercises and worked examples. It captures the latest major
developments in stylistics, such as corpus, cognitive and
multimodal approaches to the study of style, and its accompanying
website has also been substantially revised to feature, amongst
other things, useful links, worked examples and a new web strand on
style and humour. In addition to the classic readings in stylistics
contained in the first edition, the new edition includes a number
of recent, stimulating readings by key figures in the contemporary
field. Written by an experienced teacher and researcher, this
accessible textbook is an essential resource for all students of
English language, linguistics and literature.
