Synopsis
This insightful volume delves into the stylistic devices employed by authors throughout history. It begins by arguing that there are far more varieties of literary styles than previously thought. These styles, the author argues, are distinguishable by their differing uses of epithets. Consequently, the author sets out to create an exhaustive list of all the epithets used to describe literary style, as well as to categorize epithets logically. In the process, the author introduces the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence style and discusses the difficulty of fitting style into a rigid taxonomy. Nonetheless, the author concludes that the thoughtful application of literary style not only enhances a work but is essential to conveying complex and subtle ideas.
