章节摘录

　　A cut-price crowd, urban yet simple, dwelling　　Where only salesmen and relations come　　Within a terminate and fishy-smelling　　Pastoral of ships up streets, the slave museum,　　Tattoo-shops, consulates, grim head-scarfed wives;　　And out beyond its mortgaged half-built edges　　Fast-shadowed wheat fields, running high as hedges,　　Isolate villages, where removed lives　　Loneliness clarifies. Here silence stands　　Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken,　　Hidden weeds flower, neglected waters quicken,　　Luminously-peopled air ascends;　　And past the poppies bluish neutral distance　　Ends the land suddenly beyond a beach　　Of shapes and shingle. Here is unfenced existence:　　Facing the sun, untalkative, out of reach.　　The stylistic mentality is always on the lookout for one or more of the following:　　pattern　　repetition　　recurrent structures　　ungrammatical or language-stretching structures　　large internal contrasts of content or presentation.　　And it is not embarrassed about beginning a discussion with broad orvague first impressions, so-called intuitive or subjective responses,and keeping those in mind as the discussion works its way from thegeneral to the specific. What, then, are your first impressions of thispoem? It would be useful if you read over the poem again, and jotteddown your first impressions and reactions, before reading on.　　My own first impressions are that the poem seems to involve ajourney, a movement from one place to a different one; that it is highlydescriptive, indeed quite packed with mentioned things; and that thefinal eight lines contrast, in many respects, with what goes before. Forinstance, they seem both more contemplative and more positive intone than the earlier lines, or more approving of what they report.These immediate reactions do much to shape the closer languageanalysis that follows; they are claims that the more detailed attentionwill now seek to bolster, or adjust. I believe a similar progression, fromfirst impressions to closer study shaped by those first impressions,typically happens whenever we encounter a new poem, or new picture- or a new acquaintance for that matter. Influential though they are.

•   对从事文体学与文学研究的人都很有帮助。
•   学习英美文学和文体学的同学值得拥有
•   还以为是中文书,是买来作为文学教育研究参考的，结果它是全英文的， 阅读有难度.
•   非常适合英语专业的人看
•   很实用的一本书，而且送货及时，非常满意。
•   每部分文体知识介绍之后都有许多文体分析练习activities供读者运用刚学到的理论知识进行文学文本的文体分析 但给我的感觉是分析练习虽然很多 但给读者提供的分析参考相对较少 只有非常认真细心的勤于动脑的读者才能完全体会此书的益处。入门读物。
•   实践和理论相结合，不错的书
•   纯理论性的东西，和自己预想的有不同。需要读者全神贯注去读，不然走神的话读起来还是比较吃力的。
•   值得一读。。。，有时间慢慢去看
