It is impossible to appreciate poetry fully without some knowledge
of the various aspects of poetic technique. First published in
1953, with a second edition in 1982, this title explains all the
usual technical terms in an accessible manner. Marjorie Boulton
shows that it is possible to approach a poem from a business-like
perspective without losing enjoyment. This reissue will be of
particular value to students as well as those with a general
interest in the specifics of poetry.
First published in 1975, this title provides an introduction to the
study of the novel. Marjorie Boulton deals systematically with the
major elements of plot, character, authorial conventions, narrative
structure, and dialogue and distinguishes different types of
fiction. The emphasis is on the mainstream novel, with examples and
arguments illustrated by quotations from five classics. Of
particular value to students of English Literature, this reissue
aims to help the reader 'not only to read novels more discerningly
and to discuss them more profitably, but also to relish the reading
more'.
First published in 1980, The Anatomy of Literary Studies provides
students of English Literature with a clearer understanding of the
significance and scope of the subject and a comprehensive
background to its study. It gives pointers towards intellectual
integrity and advice on independent study, libraries, essay writing
and examinations. This reissue of Marjorie Boulton's classic work
will be of particular value to students studying English at
university or those applying to a course who would like a fuller
understanding of what it might entail.
This title, first published in 1960, is intended primarily to
increase the understanding of drama among those who do not have
easy access to the live theatre and who, therefore, study plays
mainly in print. The author's emphasis is on Shakespeare, but most
forms of drama receive some attention. A lucid and lively study of
the techniques of plot, dialogue and characterization will help the
reader to a deeper appreciated of the problems and successes of the
dramatist.
First published in 1954, this title is a companion to The Anatomy
of Poetry as a literary guide for the student reader. Writing that
students generally find it more challenging to analyse a passage of
prose than a piece of poetry, Marjorie Boulton takes a systematic
approach to the technical elements of prose, considering form,
vocabulary, rhythm and the application of historical context. With
suggestions for further reading and practical, lucid advice, this
reissue will be of particular value to students of English
Literature in need of a constructive study aid.

First published in 1959, this book aims to provide a practical
introduction to semantics, relating the critical study of language
to real-life situation, with a wealth of anecdotes and numerous
illustrations drawn from everyday personal predicaments. This book

discussion, helping to make accessible what can be a highly
academic subject comprehensible only to a minority. This book
provides a highly valuable foundation for students of linguistics
and will provide preparation for further study.
