Abstract

This study aims to analyze, through the use of the critical stylistic approach suggested by Lesley Jeffries in her book Critical Stylistics: The Power of English (2010), two novels namely; The Help < /em> by Kathryn Stockett, and The Known World by Edward P. Jones, in an attempt to reveal how their ideologies are reflected in the selected novels. The study aims at answering the following questions: 1. How do the authors of The Help < /em> and The Known World reflect their ideologies concerning slavery, racism, gender and sexism? 2. How does the critical stylistic approach depict the violence of racism and slavery in The Help < /em> and The Known World respectively?eHeH  mjjj knnn  3. How does the critical stylistic approach clarify the difference between the narration of a white person (Kathryn Stockett) and that of a black one (Edward P. Jones) about racism, slavery, gender and sexism? The study uses specific tools of analysis including naming and describing, representing actions/events/states, equating and contrasting, exemplifying and enumerating, prioritizing, implying and assuming,  negating, presenting others ‘speech and thoughts and representing time, space and society. The analysis reveals the ideology of both Stockett and Jones in their attempts to reflect the effect of racism and slavery on African-Americans. The results show that both Stockett and Jones differ in their attitudes concerning the issue of racism and slavery respectively. Stockett perpetuates racism and Jones rejects slavery altogether. They also differ in their way of tackling these issues and in their style of narration.
