Synopsis

This book is an excellent resource for those interested in a structured and comprehensive study of literary principles. The author applies philosophical and linguistic theory to artistic principles, especially within the context of Rhetoric as both a science and an art. The book further explores various literary devices, the logical construction of language, the very definition of style, and other topics. Taken together, these ideas provide a fertile ground from which meaning emerges. This rigorous, philosophical approach presents an excellent way to gain a deeper understanding of stylistic concepts.
