Offering fine-grained stylistic analysis of diverse genres, including crime fiction, short stories, poetry and novels, the book deciphers various linguistic, pragmatic and multimodal techniques. These are skilfully used by authors to achieve specific effects through a subtle manipulation of deixis, metalepsis, dialogue, metaphors, endings, inferences or rhetorical, narratorial and typographical control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring contemporary texts such as \u003ci\u003eThe French Lieutenant's Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Remains of the Day\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWe Need to Talk About Kevin\u003c\/i\u003e, chapters delve into how readers are pragmatically positioned or cognitively (mis)directed as the author guides their attention and influences their judgment. They also show how readers' responses can, conversely, bring about a certain form of manipulation as readers challenge the positions the texts invite them to occupy.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377584464179,"sku":"9781350267428","price":87.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/wVBsPDZMRc9781350267428.webp?v=1779325935","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/stylistic-manipulation-of-the-reader-in-contemporary-fiction-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
