Abstract
Bringing the book but not the subject matter to a close, this afterword provides an assessment of all the chapters, showing how each adds to a broad view of how the area of pedagogical stylistics stands in the twenty-first century. It emphasizes the classroom as the locus for creative dialogic interaction, where students may take upon themselves ways of learning and understand how texts work, how rewriting can be made more central in pedagogical stylistics, what the materials and methods for the future may be, an emphasis on multimodal stylistics, and the need to further integrate language and literature, especially in relation to interpretation. As each section is discussed, this chapter weaves an organic whole, offers suggestions for further research and raises certain challenges for the future.
