This volume deals with the occurrence and development of unreliable
first-person narration in twentieth century Western literature. The
different articles in this collection approach this topic both from
the angle of literary theory and through a detailed reading of
literary texts. By addressing questions concerning the functions,
characteristics and types of unreliability, this collection
contributes to the current theoretical debate about unreliable
narration. At the same time, the collection highlights the
different uses to which unreliability has been put in different
contexts, poetical traditions and literary movements. It does so by
tracing the unreliable first-person narrator in a variety of texts
from Dutch, German, American, British, French, Italian, Polish,
Danish and Argentinean literature. In this way, this volume
significantly extends the traditional 'canon' of narrative
unreliability. This collection combines essays from some of the
foremost theoreticians of unreliability (James Phelan, Ansgar
Nunning) with essays from experts in different national traditions.
The result is a collection that approaches the 'case' of narrative
unreliability from a new and more varied perspective.
