This book offers a stylistic introduction to the study of literature, designed to equip students with the ability to comprehend literary texts through their language structures. It aims to transform students into 'stylisticians' who can articulate why they appreciate a piece of writing by understanding how it functions.
By exploring the intricate connection between language and literary creation, it demonstrates that literature is crafted from language in much the same way that dance is crafted from movement.
This volume guides students through the principles and methods of stylistic analysis. It covers phonology, graphology, grammar, lexis and context, teaching the reader how to perform a stylistic analysis of literary texts with technical sophistication.
