Visual Devices in Contemporary Prose Fiction (eBook, PDF)

Gaps, Gestures, Images

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book acknowledges that the reader of a novel looks at and sees the page before they begin to read any text placed upon it. Thus, any disruptions to how a traditional page 'should look' can have a large impact on the reading process. The book critically engages with the visual appearance of graphically innovative contemporary prose fiction.
