Explorations in Stylistics

Explores the developments in Stylistics since its pioneer, Roman Jakobson, identified the patterning of the message as the poetic function. This book analyzes Golding's "Pincher Martin", Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Housman's "A Shropshire Lad", Elizabeth Jennings' poem "One Flesh", and various poems by John Donne.
