Free Download Garrett Stewart, "The Ways of the Word: Episodes in Verbal Attention"
English | ISBN: 1501761404 | 2022 | 252 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In The Ways of the Word, Garrett Stewart steps aside from theory to focus on the sheer pleasure of attentive reading and the excitement of recognizing the play of syllables and words upon which the best literary writing is founded.
