In these compelling new essays, leading critics sharpen our
understanding of the narrative structures that convey meaning in
fiction, taking as their point of departure the narratological
positions of Dorrit Cohn, Grard Genette, and Franz Stanzel. This
collection demonstrates how narratology, with its attention to the
modalities of presenting consciousness, offers a point of entry for
scholars investigating the socio-cultural dimensions of literary
representations. Drawing from a wide range of literary texts, the
essays explore the borderline between fiction and history; explain
how characters are constructed by both author and reader through
the narration of consciousness; show how gender shapes narrative
strategies ranging from the depiction of consciousness through
intertextuality to the representation of the body; address issues
of contingency in narrative; and present a debate on the crucial
function of person in the literary text. The contributors are
Stanley Corngold, Gail Finney, Kte Hamburger, Paul Michael Ltzeler,
David Mickelsen, John Neubauer, Thomas Pavel, Jens Rieckmann,
Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan, Judith Ryan, Franz Stanzel, Susan Suleiman,
Maria Tatar, David Wellbery, and Larry Wolff.
