Abstract:

In treating the topic of the landscapes of stylistics, this book provides a
series of chapters which deal not only with physical landscapes but also with
social, mental, historical portraits of places, people and society. The
chapters demonstrate that all texts project a worldview, even when the content
appears to be only a physical description of the external world. The
implication is that texts attempt to produce specific effects on the reader
determined by the author’s worldview. Contents and effects, (namely mental and
emotional states, behaviours), are thus inseparable. Identifying those effects
and how they are produced is an eminently cognitive operation. The chapters
analyse a variety of linguistic devices and cognitive mechanisms employed in
producing the text and accounting for the effects achieved. Though the
majority of the chapters have a cognitive basis, a wide range of methodologies
are employed, including ecostylistics, offering cutting-edge theoretical
approaches teamed up with close reading. A further crucial feature of this
collection is the selection of non-canonical texts, ranging from lesser-known
texts in English to significant works in languages other than English, all of
which are characterised by important social themes, thus emphasising the
importance of critical appreciation as a means of self-empowerment.
