This volume explains how metaphors, metonymies, and other figures interact cognitively and rhetorically to tell us what writing is and what it should do. Original and informative, it gives scholars a fresh understanding of concepts such as 'voice', 'self', 'clarity', 'power', and the most basic figure of all: 'the writer'.
