Lit 101: Introduction to Stylistics

7 books

I never had the opportunity to take a dedicated literature class, so I'm building my own personal curriculums! The technical goal of this list is to help me learn how to analyze prose style at the sentence level - diction, syntax, figuration, narrative distance, etc. The more practical goal of this is to help me understand the what an author is doing and have the language to properly describe it.
