Monika Fludernik presents a detailed analysis of free indirect
discourse as it relates to narrative theory, and the crucial
problematic of how speech and thought are represented in fiction.
Building on the insights of Ann Banfield's Unspeakable Sentences,
Fludernik radically extends Banfield's model to accommodate
evidence from conversational narrative, non-fictional prose and
literary works from Chaucer to the present. Fludernik's model
subsumes earlier insights into the forms and functions of quotation
and aligns them with discourse strategies observable in the oral
language. Drawing on a vast range of literature, she provides an
invaluable resource for researchers in the field and introduces
English readers to extensive work on the subject in German as well
as comparing the free indirect discourse features of German, French
and English. This study effectively repositions the whole area
between literature and linguistics, opening up a new set of
questions in narrative theory.
