商品簡介
Structured to reflect Einstein's relativity theory, Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet (1957) is a wide-ranging work written for the express purpose of translating the author's view of reality into literature. In this study, Rashidi uses M.A.K. Halliday's systemic linguistic theory of text analysis to provide insight into this work and the linguistic nature of literary composition. Rashidi teaches linguistics, composition, and literature at Mansfield U. of Pennsylvania. The volume is not indexed. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
