Stylistics by Peter Verdonk

Stylistics by Peter Verdonk

This book examines how style is used in literary and non-literary texts. The topics include style as a matter of socialization, the production and reception of meaning, the question of perspective, literary criticism, and current issues such as feminist stylistics and critical discourse analysis.

the book undoubtedly offers a valuable and practical guide to the subject matter* Patrick Studer, University College, Cork, Ireland *
The argument is well illustrated with commentary, sometimes detailed, on several poetic and prose texts, which provides insightful observations on textual features. * Applied Linguistics Journal *
