The Language of Siegfried Sassoon Hardback
by Marcello Giovanelli
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Language, Literature and Style series
Hardback
Description
This book presents a cognitive stylistic analysis of the writing of Siegfried Sassoon, a First World War poet who has typically been perceived as a poet of protest and irony, but whose work is in fact multi-faceted and complex in theme and shifted in style considerably throughout his lifetime.
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.
