This groundbreaking work is the first to showcase the immense value of prose analysis, both appreciative and interpretive, across a diverse range of authors, including renowned figures such as Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, Don DeLillo, and Toni Morrison. The Value of Style in Fiction is not just a resource for students and scholars of the English novel and its intricate verbal microplots, but also for anyone passionate about mastering the art of sentence construction. By writing alongside its finest exemplars in a fully descriptive account, this book presents a stylistic challenge that is exemplified by Stewart's multifaceted critical modeling.
The journey begins with a comprehensive survey of prose poetics, providing a foundational understanding of the techniques and strategies employed by writers to create powerful and evocative prose. This manual of invested reading then concludes with an Inventory of terms, drawn primarily from grammar, rhetoric, etymology, phonetics, narratology, and poetic theory. These terms are bolded throughout the text, making them easily accessible for reference and cross-mapping of certain verbal tendencies in literary-historical evolution and the works of individual landmark writers.
In addition to its theoretical insights, The Value of Style in Fiction offers practical guidance for writers seeking to enhance their prose skills. Through detailed analysis and close reading of selected passages, readers are encouraged to explore the nuances of language, rhythm, and imagery, and to apply these principles to their own writing. The book also includes exercises and prompts to facilitate practice and self-reflection, helping writers to refine their craft and develop their unique style.
Whether you are an aspiring novelist, a professional writer, or simply a lover of literature, The Value of Style in Fiction is an essential resource for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of prose and its power to convey meaning and emotion. By exploring the rich tapestry of literary styles and techniques, this book provides a valuable roadmap for writers seeking to create their own distinctive voice and leave a lasting impact on the world of literature.
