Narratology (Classics in Theory) by Genevieve Liveley
Requirements: .PDF reader, 1.7 MB
Overview: Offers the first diachronic reception history of narratology, covering a period of 2,500 years
Brings together analyses of key theories of narrative from antiquity to present in one volume
Includes translations of all ancient and modern languages, ensuring accessibility to a broad readership
Provides a complete glossary of narratological terms, both ancient and modern, referred to in the volume
This volume explores the extraordinary contribution that classical poetics has made to twentieth and twenty-first century theories of narrative, aiming not to argue that modern narratologies simply present ‘old wine in new wineskins’, but rather to identify the diachronic affinities shared between ancient and modern stories about storytelling. By recognizing that modern narratologists bring a particular expertise to bear upon ancient literary theory, and by interrogating ancient and modern narratologies through the mutually imbricating dynamics of their reception, it seeks to arrive at a better understanding of both.
