Opis

This work provides a comprehensive survey of theories of narrative from Plato to Post-Structuralism. It shows the ways in which narrative crosses disciplines, continents and theoretical perspectives and is a long overdue and welcome addition to the field. The texts cover many crucial issues and topics including: novelists on narrative; formalis; structuralism; responses to narratology; narrative and sexual difference; psychoanalysis; race; phenomenology; and history. Part three is designed to guide the student reader through the texts, including a helpful chronology of narrative theory, a glossary of narrative terms, and a checklist of narrative theories. Selected authors include: Plato, Aristotle, E.M. Forrester, Henry James, Walter Benjamin, Mikhail Bahtkin, Frank Kermode, Claude Levi-Strauss, Jonathan Culler, Roland Barthes and Umberto Eco.
