Against this conventional view, John Bryant (2001) and Michael S. Kearns (1983) regard grammatical errors in Melville’s full-length novels as rhetorical devices, which urges a broader reconsideration of solecisms in Melville’s short pieces. The metrical aspect of his short story “The Piazza” suggests the author’s acute awareness of rhetorical usage in the story’s construction, and so if solecism is to be regarded as a consciously rhetorical feature of Melville’s style, then his deployment of the device in the story may be taken as evidence of its broader use in his short pieces as well as novels. This article focuses on solecisms in Melville’s “The Piazza,” and argues that their usage is intentional and rhetorical.","PeriodicalId":45300,"journal":{"name":"STYLE","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45377027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on findings in cognitive science and developmental psychology, I argue that Cee's \"theory of mind\" (aka \"mind-reading\" capacity) going awry is behind her tragic fate of being abandoned and suffering from physical and mental trauma. I also argue that her mind-reading proficiency improves thanks to the education from the community women by means of incorporating her into their intermental unit (to use the term introduced by Alan Palmer), thus forming a social mind. This essay aims to offer new interpretations of one of Toni Morrison's later novels, on the one hand, and to prove the explanatory power of cognitive approaches to literature, on the other hand.","PeriodicalId":45300,"journal":{"name":"STYLE","volume":"55 1","pages":"493 - 511"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42232673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assembled just after the 1918 Armistice, the eventual British canon of Great War poets had not yet emerged. Anthologies have been particularly influential for understanding the War from British perspectives, yet little attention has been given to how editors went to work. Letters in the Hugh Walpole Collection at the King's School, Canterbury, preserve letters to Trotter from the poets or their representatives. These throw new light on the canon and anthology formation. The article analyses and discusses the material in this archive for the first time. Divided into six sections, biographical details of Jacqueline Trotter are followed by sections on what the letters reveal about the chronological arrangement and choice of poems; the charitable aim and issues of copyright; setting poems in context; and contributors' own views on war poetry.","PeriodicalId":45300,"journal":{"name":"STYLE","volume":"55 1","pages":"544 - 572"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43376501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
