Description
An Introduction to Narratology is an accessible, practical guide to narratological theory and terminology and its application to literature.
In this book, Monika Fludernik outlines:
the key concepts of style, metaphor and metonymy, and the history of narrative forms
narratological approaches to interpretation and the linguistic aspects of texts, including new cognitive developments in the field
how students can use narratological theory to work with texts, incorporating detailed practical examples
a glossary of useful narrative terms, and suggestions for further reading.
This textbook offers a comprehensive overview of the key aspects of narratology by a leading practitioner in the field. It demystifies the subject in a way that is accessible to beginners, but also reflects recent theoretical developments and narratology's increasing popularity as a critical tool.
