First published in 1992, Narrative Exchanges shows how a general
model of communicative exchanges can be refined to deal with the
complexities of narrative fiction. Going beyond the two-way
structure of reciprocity, it gives particular attention to the
processes of framing, substitution and dispossession by which
written texts generate meaning. The title provides an innovative
way of combining narrative and exchange theory, bringing the two
areas of thought into a mutually critical relationship. Using a
wide variety of narrative texts, literary and non-literary,
canonical and non-canonical, authors discussed include Flaubert,
Achebe, Mansfield, Boccaccio, Duras, Daudet, Moorhouse, DeLillo and
Wordsworth. Drawing on perspectives from anthropology, linguistics
and education, and combining accessible readings with theoretical
debate, Ian Reid makes a significant contribution to the debate
about narrative theory.
