Description

First published in 1992, this influential collection of essays explores how context shapes the interpretation and analysis of both literary and non-literary texts. The work challenges the traditional separation between text and context, arguing instead for their essential interdependence in stylistic analysis. Through essays spanning from historical works like Puttenham to modern examples, the collection demonstrates how linguistic description, interpretive reading, and situational context work together. Designed for scholars and students of stylistics, discourse analysis and linguistics, this Routledge volume provides theoretical frameworks and practical approaches for understanding how language functions within broader communicative situations. The diverse range of texts analysed illustrates key principles of contextualisation across multiple registers and time periods, making it an essential resource for those studying the relationship between language structure and meaning-making in context.

Key Features

The collection challenges the myth that stylistics requires fundamental separation of text from context or language from situation.

Essays analyse a historically diverse set of texts ranging from Puttenham to modern examples like Colemanballs.

The work reveals interdependencies between linguistic theory, textual analysis, and the broader communicative contexts in which language operates.

Published by Routledge, this volume provides frameworks applicable to both literary criticism and non-literary discourse analysis.

Comprehensive treatment of how contextualisation principles apply to interpretation and description of multiple text types.
