Download or read book Basics of Literary Devices in English Literature written by Ainaab Tariq and published by AG PUBLISHING HOUSE (AGPH Books). This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's no denying the significance of literary devices when conveying a story. They may make the author's tale more comprehensible and engaging by emphasising key phrases, evoking certain emotions, and providing more context. One may improve story telling skills by using these literary tools. We can identify, recognise, interpret, and/or evaluate any element of literature or any one piece as a literary device. Some literary devices include both aspects of literature and literary strategies. Literary tactics are the linguistic structures that an author utilises to express an idea. In most cases, a literary method is used by an author using the single word or phrase, or a small cluster of words or phrases, at a specific location in the text. Unlike components of literature, literary strategies need not be included in every piece of writing. All literary techniques have one thing in common: they make the reader think about the world in new ways by pointing out or exploring connections between various elements. The use of comparison as a linking mechanism is widespread in literature. Metaphors and similes, the two most common forms of analogy, will be introduced throughout the book. Putting two items side by side is an example of a metaphor. Each literary device deserves its own dedicated discussion and set of illustrative texts. This is a book devoted to the most often used literary devices in both poetry and prose
Download or read book Poetic Devices written by Edited by: Kisak and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language-such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre-to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. Poetry has a long history, dating back to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. Early poems evolved from folk songs such as the Chinese Shijing, or from a need to retell oral epics, as with the Sanskrit Vedas, Zoroastrian Gathas, and the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects. The use of ambiguity, symbolism, irony and other stylistic elements of poetic diction often leaves a poem open to multiple interpretations. Similarly figures of speech such as metaphor, simile and metonymy create a resonance between otherwise disparate images-a layering of meanings, forming connections previously not perceived. This book outlines the literary devices used in poetry.

Book excerpt: When Edgar Roberts taught literature and composition he dedicated a substantial amount of his class time explaining to students how they should prepare their writing assignments. The more time he spent describing the assignment, the better the final essays. However, these explicit essay-writing directions were taking up too much of his classroom time. At that point, Professor Roberts started to write and hand out directions, thus saving him valuable classroom time. Over the years, he tried and tested each assignment in his own classes. In addition to writing coverage, Professor Roberts recognized that literature classrooms needed both writing about literature instruction and an anthology to meet the needs of the literature and composition course. Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing, Ninth Edition is founded on the principles of writing about literature. It is not an afterthought and it is not treated as a separate chapter or appendix; it is the carefully integrated philosophy of Professor Roberts' approach to teaching literature and composition. --Publisher description.
