Authorial Presence and Unreliable Narration in Simultaneous Narration 330 $aThis volume deals with the occurrence and development of unreliable first-person narration in twentieth century Western literature. The different articles in this collection approach this topic both from the angle of literary theory and through a detailed reading of literary texts. By addressing questions concerning the functions, characteristics and types of unreliability, this collection contributes to the current theoretical debate about unreliable narration. At the same time, the collection highlights the different uses to which unreliability has been put in different contexts, poetical traditions and literary movements. It does so by tracing the unreliable first-person narrator in a variety of texts from Dutch, German, American, British, French, Italian, Polish, Danish and Argentinean literature. In this way, this volume significantly extends the traditional 'canon' of narrative unreliability. This collection combines essays from some of the foremost theoreticians of unreliability (James Phelan, Ansgar Nünning) with essays from experts in different national traditions. The result is a collection that approaches the 'case' of narrative unreliability from a new and more varied perspective. 410 0$aNarratologia. 606 $aFiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFirst person narrative$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTruthfulness and falsehood in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFirst person narrative$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTruthfulness and falsehood in literature. 676 $a809.304 22 701 $aD'hoker$b Elke$01036839 701 $aMartens$b Gunther$f1976-$01036840 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454217903321 996 $aNarrative unreliability in the twentieth-century first-person novel$92457424 997 $aUNINA
