An Introduction to Narratology

to literature.
In this book, Monika Fludernik
outlines:
• the key concepts of style,
metaphor and metonymy, and
the history of narrative forms
• narratological approaches to
interpretation and the linguistic aspects of texts,
including new cognitive developments in the field

with texts, incorporating detailed practical examples
• a glossary of useful narrative terms, and suggestions
for further reading.
This textbook offers a comprehensive overview of the
key aspects of narratology by a leading practitioner in
the field. It demystifies the subject in a way that is

theoretical developments and narratology’s increasing
popularity as a critical tool.

The Language and Literature Reader
Edited by Ronald Carter and Peter Stockwell,
both at University of Nottingham, UK
The Language and Literature
Reader is an invaluable resource
for students of English literature,
language, and linguistics.
Bringing together the most
significant work in the field with
integrated editorial material, this
Reader is a structured and
accessible tool for the student
and scholar.
Divided into three sections,
Foundations, Developments and
New Directions, the Reader provides an overview of the
discipline from the early stages in the 1960s and 70s,
through the new theories and practices of the 1980s
and 90s, to the most recent and contemporary work in
the field. Each article contains a brief introduction by
the editors situating it in the context of developing
work in the discipline and glossing it in terms of the
section and of the book as a whole. The final section
concludes with a ‘history and manifesto’, written by the
editors, which places developments in the area of
stylistics within a brief history of the field and offers a
polemical perspective on the future of a growing and
influential discipline.
