Abstract:

The contributions in this collection offer a wide range of stylistic
perspectives on landscape, place and environment, by focusing on a variety of
text-types ranging from poetry, the Bible, fictional and non-fictional prose,
to newspaper articles, condo names, online texts and exhibitions. Employing
both established and cutting-edge methodologies from, among others, corpus
linguistics, metaphor studies, Text World Theory and ecostylistics, the eleven
chapters in the volume provide an overview of how landscape, place and
environment are encoded and can be investigated in literary and non-literary
discourse. The studies collected here stand as evidence of the possibility of,
and the need for, a “stylistics of landscape”, which emphasises how
represented spaces are made manifest linguistically; a “stylistics of place”,
which focuses on the discursive and affective qualities of those represented
spaces; and a “stylistics of environment”, which reiterates the urgency for
environmentally-responsible humanities, able to support a change in the
anthropocentric narrative which poses humans as the most important variable in
the human-animal and human-environment relationships.
