{"product_id":"tone-judith-roof-9781501362569","title":"Tone: Writing and the Sound of Feeling","description":"Tone is often decisive in whether we love or dislike a story, novel, or even critical essay. Yet literary critics rarely treat tone as a necessary or important element of literary style or critique. There are surprisingly few analyses of what tone is, how texts produce tone, or the ways tone--as an essential element of narration--contributes to character, story, mood, and voice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTone\u003c\/i\u003e's 24 micro-chapters offer a playful, eclectic, and fast-paced guide into the creation of tone in a variety of modern and contemporary works of literature by such varied writers as Hemingway, Woolf, and Sedaris, as well as in criticism, advertising, and machine-authored texts. Judith Roof shows how tone is a crucial element in all writing, as it produces the illusion of a telling voice; creates a sense of character, personality, and attitude; inflects events recounted; anticipates certain directions and possibilities; and creates an ambiance that simultaneously produces, enables, and shapes narratives and characters. \u003ci\u003eTone\u003c\/i\u003egives us a lively and original way to rethink the practice of literary criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Roof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501362569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501362569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021","brand":"Judith Roof","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064971030783,"sku":"9781501362569","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55443845-1e66-4040-b86e-406fc7f94c11.jpg?v=1685398670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tone-judith-roof-9781501362569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
