Routledge Multimodal Stylistics of the Novel - Academic Book

Expand your understanding of literary analysis with Multimodal Stylistics of the Novel: More than Words. Part of the Routledge Studies in Multimodality series, this book introduces a fresh analytical framework designed to go beyond traditional linguistic study. By combining stylistic traditions with the social semiotic approach developed by Kress and van Leeuwen, Norgaard provides a method to examine how meaning is created through various resources. This text moves past simple word analysis to include the visual and physical elements of the novel. Readers can explore how typography, layout, images, and even book-cover design contribute to the reading experience. It is an essential resource for scholars looking to integrate semiotic resources into their existing stylistic practices, offering a way to study the novel as a multi-layered medium.
