At issue is the question of whether the theoretical concepts underpinning narratology are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, actually derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature. The essays take on aspects of eighteenth-century texts such as plot, genre, character, perspective, temporality, and more, coming at them from both a narratological and a historical perspective.Crossing boundaries: Turku medieval and early modern studies ;7.European prose literature18th centuryHistory and criticismEuropean fiction18th centuryHistory and criticismNarration (Rhetoric)History18th centuryAnthologiesAnthologieslcgftEuropean prose literatureHistory and criticism.European fictionHistory and criticism.Narration (Rhetoric)HistoryAnthologies.809/.033Mäkikalli AinoSteinby LiisaMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910169176303321Narrative Concepts in the Study of Eighteenth-Century Literature4128478UNINA
