'Stylistics' is the study of language in the service of literary ends. This title demonstrates how stylistic analysis can be applied to novels and stories. It shows the practical ways in which linguistic analysis and literary appreciation can be combined, and illuminated, through the study of literary style.
"Style in Fiction is a welcome addition to a body of writings by stylisticians who have over the past two decades cumulatively increased our knowledge of the workings of language in a range of literary genres."
Applied Linguistics (about the first edition)
This book describes the ways in which the techniques of linguistic analysis and literary criticism can be combined, and illuminated, through the linguistic study of literary style. It draws on the prose fiction of the last 150 years to demonstrate the approach.
