The Narrative Reader [Paperback]

The Narrative Readeraims to provide a comprehensive survey of narrative theories ranging from Plato to Post-Structuralism. The selection of texts is bold and broad, demonstrating the extent to which narrative permeates the entire field of literature and culture. It shows the ways in which narrative crosses disciplines, continents and theoretical perspectives and is a long overdue and welcome addition to the field. The Narrative Readerwill fascinate students and researchers alike, providing a much needed point of entry to the increasingly complex field of narrative theory.Martin McQuillan is Lecturer in English at Staffordshire University.
