Stylistics is a multidisciplinary and stimulating field of scientific enquiry with an increasingly significant impact on society, especially in cognitive, civic and pedagogical domains. This new four volume collection will showcase the main developments and the major achievements in stylistics. Included will be the most important works that have been at the forefront of stylistic scholarship in the past forty years, and the debates and controversies that have taken place. They will also include key texts on methodology and on models of interpretation that have been developed and will show how stylistics has been both effected by linguistic, philosophical and psychological theories and how it, in turn, has influenced them.
