• Sommario/riassunto: The distinction between author and narrator is one of the cornerstones of narrative theory.

This volume offers contributions to these debates from different vantage points: literary studies, linguistics, philosophy, and media studies. It thus manifests the status of narrative theory as a transdisciplinary project.
