{"product_id":"style-in-narrative-patrick-colm-hogan-9780197539576","title":"Style in Narrative: Aspects of an Affective-Cognitive Stylistics","description":"Literary style is something many people talk about, but few could define. Yet it is crucial for our response to narrative art. Style can facilitate or obscure the events of a story or the motivations of a character, enhance the aesthetic appeal of a narrative or complicate its emotional impact, and even inflect the political or ethical implications of a work. It is precisely this complex operation of style that Patrick Colm Hogan explains in\u003cem\u003e Style in Narrative\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on recent psychological research, this book proposes a new and clear definition of style and provides a systematic theoretical account of style in relation to cognitive and affective science. Hogan's definition stresses that style varies by both scope, or the range of text or texts that may share a style, and level, the components of an individual work that might involve a shared style. The book uses rich examples from literature, film, and graphic fiction, including analysis of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Shakespeare's canon, William Faulkner's \u003cem\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/em\u003e, and Art Spiegelman's \u003cem\u003eMaus\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as visual analysis of films by Robert Rodriguez, Deepa Mehta, Eric Rohmer, M.F.Husain, Yasujiro Ozu, and Chuan Lu. Through these studies Hogan identifies stylistic concerns common across mediums as well as the most consequential stylistic differences between them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together three often separated mediums within a coherent framework, \u003cem\u003eStyle in Narrative\u003c\/em\u003e makes an important contribution to and necessary intervention in the field of stylistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Colm Hogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197539572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197539576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2022","brand":"Patrick Colm Hogan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054756622591,"sku":"9780197539576","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_402d538d-e66e-4a8e-88ea-587ca077e471.jpg?v=1685031816","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/style-in-narrative-patrick-colm-hogan-9780197539576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
