Ensign Nivpul Exavent has succeeded in bringing his grandfather's ship home after a spacial anomaly stranded him far beyond the edge of charted space. With the outsider woman who stole his heart on his arm, and a representative of a prince of the realm watching his every move, any semblance of the sheltered life from which he'd been ripped so long ago proved out of reach. As circumstances spiral out of hand, Niv's grandfather convinces him to take June off station and to hide at a safe location until they received an all clear. It never comes, replaced by a plea to use what they knew about the uncharted space from which they'd returned to disrupt the outside support backing a powerful Duke with sights on the Imperial throne. Where his last journey through that region of space required the kind of subterfuge and misdirection June excelled at, this trip would force Niv to face his fear of stepping out of the shadows to make people who didn't know him or his people listen.

This book considers metaphor as a communicative phenomenon in the poetry of Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bishop and Seamus Heaney, in light of the relevance theory account of communication first developed by Dan Sperber and Deirdre Wilson in the 1980s. The first half of the book introduces relevance theory, situating it in relation to literary criticism, and then surveys the history of metaphor in literary studies and assesses relevance theory’s account of metaphor, including recent developments within the theory such as Robyn Carston’s notion of ‘the lingering of the literal’. The second half of the book considers the role of metaphor in the work of three nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets through the lens of three terms central to relevance theory: inference, implicature and mutual manifestness. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars working in literary studies, pragmatics and stylistics, as well as to relevance theorists.
