Style in Fiction:
A Linguistic Introduction to English Fictional Prose (2nd Edition)
Geoffrey Leech, Mick Short
URLﾘﾝｸ(www.amazon.com)
‘Stylistics’ is the study of language in the service of literary ends,
and in Style in Fiction, Geoffrey Leech and Mick Short demonstrate
how stylistic analysis can be applied to novels and stories.
Writing for both students of English language and English literature,
they show the practical ways in which linguistic analysis
and literary appreciation can be combined, and illuminated,
through the study of literary style. Drawing mainly on major works of fiction
of the last 150 years, their practical and insightful examination of style
through texts and extracts leads to a deeper understanding
of how prose writers achieve their effects through language.
