Narrative Concepts in the Study of Eighteenth-Century Literature, Hardback Book

Narrative Concepts in the Study of Eighteenth-Century Literature Hardback

Edited by Liisa Steinby, Aino Makikalli

Part of the Crossing Boundaries: Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies series

Hardback

Description

This collection of essays studies the encounter between allegedly ahistorical concepts of narrative and eighteenth-century literature from across Europe.

At issue is the question of whether the theoretical concepts underpinning narratology are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, actually derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature.

The essays take on aspects of eighteenth-century texts such as plot, genre, character, perspective, temporality, and more, coming at them from both a narratological and a historical perspective.
