About the Book
Stylistics has become the most common name for a discipline
which at various times has been termed ‘literary linguistics’,
‘rhetoric’, ‘poetics’, ‘literary philology’ and ‘close textual read-
ing’. This Handbook is the definitive account of the field, draw-
ing on linguistics and related subject areas such as psychology,
10% sociology, anthropology, educational pedagogy, computational
methods, literary criticism and critical theory. Placing stylistics
OFF! in its intellectual and international context, each chapter in-
cludes a detailed illustrative example and case study of stylistic
practice, with arguments and methods open to examination,
replication and constructive critical discussion. As an acces-
sible guide to the theory and practice of stylistics, it will equip
the reader with a clear understanding of the ethos and prin-
ciples of the discipline, as well as with the capacity and confi-
dence to engage in stylistic analysis.
