Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The noted scholar Irvin Ehrenpreis refers to 'the brilliant style which makes A Tale of a Tub the greatest prose satire in English.' Professor Smith affirms that judgment as one with which few would quarrel, but charges that most critics, like the ones whom Swift himself parodies, have too often been content to merely catalogue Swift's stylistic devices or to cite them as examples of the Modern Author's faults. What has never been fully recognized is that the young Swift, after his early imitative and conventional odes, was experimenting with a new tone and a new genre, and was using a style to work his way toward an understanding of the relationship between language and reality. This was a crucial issue in the seventeenth century, and it provided Swift with one of his most persistent themes and established the basis of his unique style, which, instead of character or plot, bears the burden of his satiric message. Professor Smith takes style to be neither the same as a writer's ideas nor the vehicle for their conveyance, but rather his habitual means of arranging concepts, experiences, and implications into a coherent and significant form. The linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf posits a connection between language and reality so intimate that the systemizations in a particular language dictate the reality of the person who speaks that language, forcing on him certain perceptions, denying him others, and effectively channeling his reason. Dr. Smith infers a comparable link between an individual's private habits of language and his private perception of reality, and argues that the uniqueness of a writer's style represents his personal organization of the world-his personal arrangement, not merely of words, but of reality itself. Frederick N. Smith is associate professor and head of the Department of English at the University of Akron. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780814253540
