Techniques of Close Reading, Second Edition helps students gain a
deeper understanding of what texts may be saying, whether they are
written, oral, visual, or mediated. Renowned scholar and professor
Barry Brummett explains and explores the various ways to "read"
messages (such as speeches, cartoons, or magazine ads), teaching
students how to see deeper levels of meaning and to share those
insights with others. Students learn techniques for discovering form,
rhetorical tropes, argument, and ideologies within texts. New to the
Second Edition: A new Chapter 6 includes a selection of techniques
from each chapter to show students how different techniques may be
used together when reading text. A close reading of a group of ads
from the insurance company, Liberty Mutual, offers students an
opportunity to apply the techniques to recent texts.
