Product Description

Review
 "...;an excellent instance of successful assimilation of linguistic method into literary studies via the stylistics interface."  STYLE  "...;represents a very solid distillation of many years of teaching, writing and reflection on the established topics of literary stylistics."  Journal of Sociolinguistics  "The latest book by Mick Short shows that stylistics is alive and kicking."  Greta


'Clearly, this is an impressive and valuable book.'

Language and Literature, 1998.



Product Description
Exploring the Language of Poems, Plays and Prose examines how readers interact with literary works, how they understand and are moved by them. Mick Short considers how meanings and effects are generated in the three major literary genres, carying out stylistic analysis of poetry, drama and prose fiction in turn. He analyses a wide range of extracts from English literature, adopting an accessible approach to the analysis of literary texts which can be applied easily to other texts in English and in other languages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent over-view of stylistics, 12 Jul 2008
By Sally Douglas (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although Mick Short is sometimes prone to stating the obvious (did we really need an illustration of two chairs to illustrate deixis? I think most people know the difference between 'that' chair and 'this' chair depends upon where they are..) this is otherwise an excellent book about stylistic analysis, with useful exercises, and checklists to help with carrying out one's own analyses.
