Winter's Tales tackles the question of whether narrative and drama
are as different from each other as some scholars have assumed. By
examining everything from voice and tense to ""scene and summary,""
George, a theater professor and novelist, analyzes the many choices
a writer has when framing a story. She addresses narrative
theoretical ground before focusing on contemporary plays that are
""novelistic."" She finishes the study by examining the problems of
adaptation from novel to stage. Her account is - by way of its
essayistic style - personal, at times a writer's journal of reading
and writing discoveries. In ""Winter's Tales"", George
demonstrates, among other things, the ways the diegetic is evident
in the very content of frame plays and divided plays; she
distinguishes between kinds of memory plays by cataloguing the
possible stances of the narrator; she also covers subjects like
multiple narration, and she gives accounts of the epic, dramatic,
and lyric solutions to adapting novels. Kathleen George is a
Professor in the Theatre Arts Department at the University of
Pittsburgh.
