Abstract:

This commemorative volume comprises ten essays which celebrate the work of
Walter (Bill) Nash. Bill Nash was an extraordinary scholar – a classicist,
parodist, critic, musician, linguist, poet, polyglot, humourist and novelist.
He was as adroit in his reading of the Old Norse sagas as he was in his
analyses of the rhetorical composition of everyday English usage, and his
published outputs embrace the stylistic, rhetorical, compositional and
creative topographies of both language and literature. The contributions that
comprise this volume are all by well-known scholars in the field and each
essay celebrates Nash’s prodigious offering by covering the academic fields
with which he was particularly associated. These fields include composition,
rhetoric, discourse analysis, English usage, comic discourse, creative writing
and the stylistic exploration of literature from the Old English period to
that of the present day.
