• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Professor Leech has given us the first full-length textbook suitable for teaching the 'new stylistics' to undergraduates." Language and Style

---

Seeks to demonstrate that the study of English poetry is enriched by the insights of modern linguistic analysis, and that linguistic and critical disciplines are not separate but complementary. Examining a wide range of poetry, Professor Leech considers many aspects of poetic style, including the language of past and present, creative language, poetic licence, repetition, sound, metre, context and ambiguity.
