Exploring the Language of Poems, Plays and Prose examines how readers interact with literary works, how they understand and are moved by them. Mick Short considers how meanings and effects are generated in the three major literary genres, carying out stylistic analysis of poetry, drama and prose fiction in turn. He analyses a wide range of extracts from English literature, adopting an accessible approach to the analysis of literary texts which can be applied easily to other texts in English and in other languages.
"...;an excellent instance of successful assimilation of linguistic method into literary studies via the stylistics interface." STYLE "...;represents a very solid distillation of many years of teaching, writing and reflection on the established topics of literary stylistics." Journal of Sociolinguistics "The latest book by Mick Short shows that stylistics is alive and kicking." Greta
