Human beings have constantly told stories, presented events and
placed the world into narrative form. This activity suggests a very
basic way of looking at the world, yet, this book argues, even the
most seemingly simple of stories is embedded in a complex network
of relations. Paul Cobley traces these relations, considering the
ways in which humans have employed narrative over the centuries to
're-present' time, space and identity. This second, revised and
fully updated edition of the successful guidebook to narrative
covers a range of narrative forms and their historical development
from early oral and literate forms through to contemporary digital
media, encompassing Hellenic and Hebraic foundations, the rise of
the novel, realist representations, narratives of imperialism,
modernism, cinema, postmodernism and new technologies. A final
chapter reviews the way that narrative theory in the last decade
has re-orientated definitions of narrative. Written in a clear,
engaging style and featuring an extensive glossary of terms, this
is the essential introduction to the history and theory of
narrative.
