Master Narratives

Tellers and Telling in the English Novel
Herausgeber: Gravil, Richard

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The contributors examine aspects of narrative technique which are crucial to interpretation, and which bring something new or distinctive into fiction. The introduction asks whether such experimentation may be driven by challenges to society's 'master narratives' - for instance, by a desire to circumvent the reader's ideological defences.
