Abstract

'The Stylistics Reader' documents the significant impact of linguistic theory on literary studies. It brings together in one accessible volume key essays and writings which mark the development of stylistics as a discipline from its formalist beginnings to the contextualized, discourse-based approaches practised today. The carefully selected readings are arranged in eight sections, each of which introduces a particular approach: formalist, functionalist, affective, pedagogical, pragmatic, critical, feminist and cognitive.
