A Logic of Narrativity
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter shows how the concept of narrativity can be used as the guiding principle for a certain kind of critical method. Specifically, it shows how the concept becomes critically useful once it is thought of as having a determining logic of its own, a logic sometimes related directly but far more often related deviously and deceptively to that logic discernible in the conduct of a novel's represented characters, and of the world they inhabit.
