Jimmie Killingsworth breathe new life into traditional concepts of style. Drawing on numerous examples from a wide range of authors and genres, Holcomb and Killingsworth demonstrate the use of style as a vehicle for performance, a way for writers to project themselves onto the page while managing their engagement with the reader. By addressing style and rhetoric not as an editorial afterthought, but as a means of social interaction, they equip students with the vocabulary and tools to analyze the styles of others in fresEnglish languageStyleEnglish languageComposition and exercisesElectronic books.English languageStyle.English languageComposition and exercises.808/.042Holcomb Chris910633Killingsworth M.
