The Language and Literature Reader by Ronald Carter instant download

The Language and Literature Reader is an invaluable resource for students of English literature, language and linguistics. Bringing together the most significant work in the field with integrated editorial material, this Reader is a structured and accessible tool for the student and scholar.
Divided into three main parts, Foundations, Developments and New Directions, the Reader provides an overview of the discipline from the early stages in the 1960s and 1970s, through the new theories and practices of the 1980s and 1990s, to the most recent and contemporary work in the field. Each chapter contains a brief introduction by the editors situating it in the context of developing work in the discipline and glossing it in terms of the part and of the book as a whole. A final part concludes with a ‘retrospect and prospect’, written by the editors, which places developments in the area of stylistics within a brief history of the field and offers a polemical perspective on the future of a growing and influential discipline.
