The concept of possible worlds, originally introduced in
philosophical logic, has recently gained interdisciplinary
influence; it proves to be a productive tool when borrowed by
literary theory to explain the notion of fictional worlds. In this
book Ruth Ronen develops a comparative reading of the use of
possible worlds in philosophy and in literary theory, and offers an
analysis of the way the concept contributes to our understanding of
fictionality and the structure and ontology of fictional worlds. Dr
Ronen suggests a new set of criteria for the definition of
fictionality, making rigorous distinctions between fictional and
possible worlds; and through specific studies of domains within
fictional worlds - events, objects, time, and point of view - she
proposes a radical rethinking of the problem of fictionality in
general and fictional narrativity in particular.
