Ungrammaticalities: Linguistic Literary Criticism from The Battle of Maldon to Muriel Spark

Ungrammaticalities is the author’s contribution to the growing field of linguistic criticism, or literary stylistics, which has taken a firm foothold in twenty-first century literature studies. This book comprises essays, blog posts, and long-form writings encompassing a diverse range of texts dating from the anonymous poem celebrating the Battle of Maldon in 991, through the novels and short stories of Muriel Spark from the 1960s and 1970s, to a discussion of fictional consciousness in Rachael Ball’s 2015 graphic novel, The Inflatable Woman.
