The craft of writing,
This review is from: Language in Literature: An Introduction to Stylistics (Hardcover)
Without the pretension of discuss the extensive traditon of stylistics, Michael Toolan's Language in literature provides the reader with a fine introduction to many topics on this subject: patterns of texture and representation, modality and evaluation, the structure of simple narratives, the recording of character speech and thought, the dinamics of dialogue, pressupposition and textual revision . The book might be useful for short undergraduate courses in Stylistics or even for self study. Activities and commentaries lead the reader to discover how language always creates special effects. He also will learn some linguistic terms necessary for the aplication of grammar in literary study as well as discover a new way of studying the language. Teachers will find a good selection of texts (literary and non literary) with a few linguistic comentaries that might be helpful to give some ideas to work in classroom.
