Language Through Literature by Paul Simpson

Language Through Literature by Paul Simpson

A definitive introduction to the English language through the medium of English Literature. Through the use of illustrations from poetry, prose and drama, it offers a lively and accessible guide to concepts and techniques in English language.

'A book that has long been needed, collecting together relatively recent linguistic ideas with the most useful of the older work and presenting them accessibly, without the assumption that the reader either has a sophisticated command of grammatical terms or that tutors will necessarily want to subscribe to either a formal or a functional approach to language studyThere is no doubt that this book will be a major contribution to the pool of textbooks upon which stylistics teaching can draw.' - Judy Delin, The Linguist

Paul Simpson is a Lecturer in the School of English at Queen’s University, Belfast. His previous publications include Language, Ideology and Point of View (1993).
