Roger Fowler Bücher

In this work, originally published in 1974, Roger Fowler explains the character and absorbing interest of language. Designed as an introductory text for students and others concerned with human communication, the book is clearly and concisely written, yet it in no way oversimplifies its rich and complicated subject.

In The Language of Literature, Roger Fowler argues that the vitality and centrality of the verbal dimension of literature imply a consistent point of view on language in literature. The author focuses on the continuity of language in literature with language outside literature, on its cultural appropriateness and adjustment, and on its power to create aesthetic patterns and to organize concepts, to make fictions. This title will be of interest to students of literary theory.
