It questions whether the general concepts of narratology are as such applicable to historically specific fields, or whether they need further specification. Furthermore, at issue is the question whether the theoretical concepts actually are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature. In the essays such concepts as genre, plot, character, event, tellability, perspective, temporality, description, reading, metadiegetic narration, and paratext are scrutinized in the context of eighteenth-century texts. The writers include some of the leading theorists of both narratology and eighteenth-century literature. 2017-04-04 23:55 2019-12-10 14:46:52 2020-04-01T13:41:28Z 2020-04-01T13:41:28Z 2017 book 627659 626753 9789048527380 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/37501 eng Crossing Boundaries: Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 626753.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789089648747 100106 10.5117/9789089648747 dd3d1a33-0ac2-4cfe-a101-355ae1bd857a b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9789048527380 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Amsterdam 100106 KU Select 2016 Front List Collection 627659 Knowledge Unlatched open access
