The author starts from the premise that a more systematic account of Sassoon’s style is possible using the methodology of contemporary stylistics, in particular Cognitive Grammar. Using this as a starting point, he revisits common ideas from Sassoon scholarship and reconfigures them through the lens of cognitive stylistics to provide a fresh perspective on Sassoon's style. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of stylistics, war poetry, twentieth-century literature, and cognitive linguistics. Marcello Giovanelli is Reader in Literary Linguistics and Head of English, Languages and Applied Linguistics at Aston University, UK. He teaches on undergraduatemodules in stylistics, cognitive poetics and English literature and supervises doctoral students working on topics in cognitive stylistics. He has previously published on both the work of Siegfried Sassoon and on stylistic applications of Cognitive Grammar. .Palgrave Studies in Language, Literature and Style,2731-8273Language and languagesStylePoetryLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiteratureStylisticsPoetry and PoeticsTwentieth-Century LiteratureLiteratureLanguage and languagesStyle.Poetry.Literature, ModernLiterature.Stylistics.Poetry and Poetics.Twentieth-Century Literature.Literature.893.1821.912Giovanelli Marcello1088376MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910595045903321The Language of Siegfried Sassoon2916029UNINA
