This book presents an introduction to stylistics for students of literature. It does not presuppose linguistic knowledge, but it approaches literature in a linguistic way. In the first half it looks at the make-up of a sentence in English and how sentence elements are exploited by literary authors. In the second half it looks at the way in which a text is unified by elements beyond the sentence. The conclusion exemplifies the theory explained in the previous chapters.

Sammendrag: Recent years have seen increasing attention paid to language in use, particularly its use in literature. This book sets out in a comprehensible and structured way how a student of literature might approach the language of a literary text. The book starts with an examination of the make-up of a sentence and its elements to show how structure is fundamental to the study of language. The second half of the book looks at language beyond the sentence to see how a text is given unity through its language. N. F. Blake is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Sheffield.
