This book focuses on the intense intimacy between author and
first-person narrator in the fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James:
the narrator is both the central actor and the retrospective teller
of his tale, at once hero and historian. Auerbach defends the
beleaguered `I' in these works against the depersonalizing
tendencies of post-structuralism. In reaffirming the importance of
the human subject for the study of narrative, Auerbach shows how
the first-person form, in particular, underscores fundamental
problems of literary representation: how fictions come to be made,
and the relation between these plots and the people who make them.
