The Language and Literature Reader is the first collection in over
a decade to address the study of the linguistic foundations and
components of literature. Encompassing essays by key thinkers in
linguistics such as Katie Wales, Michael Toolan, and Paul Simpson,
as well as major figures in literary studies such as Derek Attridge
and David Lodge, the Reader is divided into three main sections:
- foundations - explores the beginnings of the discipline of
stylistics, drawing on the work of scholars in the field of both
language and literary studies
- developments - examines the expansion of the discipline across
major literary genres as new practices and theories were developed
in the 1980s and 1990s
- new directions - introduces recent approaches including
literary linguistic analysis of point of view, the relationship
between language and literary context, and cognitive poetics.
The conclusion is a stylistics manifesto in which the editors
view developments in the light of directions in linguistic and
literary theory and textual analysis.
