The Language of Siegfried Sassoon

Focusing on Siegfried Sassoon's complex and evolving poetic style, this book employs contemporary cognitive stylistics to analyze his work beyond the traditional views of protest and irony. By applying Cognitive Grammar, the author reexamines established interpretations of Sassoon's poetry, offering new insights into its themes and stylistic shifts throughout his life. This analysis will appeal to students and scholars interested in stylistics, war poetry, twentieth-century literature, and cognitive linguistics.
