The Routledge Handbook of Stylistics, second edition, is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to key areas in the field of stylistics. Spanning four sections, this edition offers a diverse range of approaches, from classical rhetoric to cognitive neuroscience. It delves into historical perspectives, exploring rhetoric, formalism, and functionalism, while also covering essential elements of stylistic analysis, such as foregrounding, relevance theory, conversation analysis, narrative, metaphor, speech, and thought presentation. Additionally, the handbook explores current areas of influential research, including cognitive poetics, corpus stylistics, critical stylistics, multimodality, creative writing, and reader response. To further enhance its value, four newly commissioned chapters have been included, covering emerging fields such as cognitive grammar, forensic linguistics, the stylistics of children's literature, and a corpus stylistic study of mental health issues. Written by renowned experts in their respective fields, each chapter provides an in-depth introduction to the subject, a historical overview, practical guidance on conducting stylistic analysis, recommendations for practice, and a glimpse into potential future developments. This handbook is an invaluable resource for researchers, postgraduates, and undergraduate students engaged in stylistics, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of this dynamic field.
