Narrative Concepts In The Study Of Eighteenth-century Literature

ISBN: 9789089648747 出版年：2016 页码：315 Aino Makikalli And Liisa Steinby Amsterdam University Press

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.
