| Summary: | Explores the scope and aims of narrative from four distinct perspectives: rhetorical, feminist, mind-oriented, and unnatural. Using case studies (Huckleberry Finn, Persuasion, On Chesil Beach, and Midnight's children, respectively), the authors explain their different takes on the same core concepts: authors, narrators, narration; plot, time, and progression; space, setting, and perspective; character; reception and the reader; and narrative values. The authors then respond to one another's views.-- |
