Aesthetics of Sensuality (Hardcover)  | Released: 2000

N.V. Raveendran...has used stylistics here as a means of exploring and explaining the poetics of sensuality thereby bridging the gap between language and linguistics on the one hand, and poetry and stylistics, on the other...He thus bypasses the usual charge against linguistic stylistics that it puts the cart before the horse, and uses language features only to validate and valorize perceptions based on immediate personal responses...This attempt is bound to be of value to scholars as well as students of poetry, of Indian English poetry in particular.
