Written over the last thirty years, this collection of Professor Peter Verdonk’s most important work on the stylistics of poetry clearly shows that the stylistics of poetic discourse is a diverse and valuable interdiscipline. Discussing the poetry of Auden, Heaney and Larkin amongst many others, Verdonk covers everything from intrinsic textual meaning and external context in its widest sense to the reader’s cognitive and emotive response to poems. The book will appeal to all students on stylistics and literary linguistics courses, especially those focussing on poetry and poetic language.
Peter Verdonk is Emeritus Professor of Stylistics, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His books include Twentieth-century Poetry (1993) and Stylistics (2002), Literature and the New Interdisciplinarity (1994, with Roger D. Sell), Twentieth-century Fiction (1995, with Jean Jacques Weber), and Exploring the Language of Drama (1998, with Jonathan Culpeper and Mick Short).
