I’m delighted that, after a few delays, Dan and I have finally seen the publication of the second edition of Stylistics (C.U.P. 2025). We are very pleased to have improved on the first edition in a number of ways, most notably in wider/deeper coverage of more recent developments in the field and in the addition of a ‘manifesto’ for stylistics, laying out its centrality to the discipline of linguistics, where it belongs. We’ll be happy to hear your thoughts on it when you have a chance to read it!
