In Theory and the Novel Jeffrey Williams exposes these elements as more than simple disruptions, analysing them as registers of narrative reflexivity, that is, moments that represent and advertise the functioning of narrative itself. Williams argues that narrative encodes and advertises its own functioning and modal form. He takes a range of novels from the English canon - Tristram Shandy, Joseph Andrews, The Turn of the Screw, Wuthering Heights, Lord Jim and Heart of Darkness are amongst the novels examined - and shows how narrative technique is never beyond or outside plot. He poses a series of theoretical questions such as about reflexitivity, imitation and fictionality, to offer a striking and original contribution to readings of the English novel, as well as to discussions of theory in general. 410 0$aLiterature, culture, theory ;$v28. 517 3 $aTheory & the Novel 606 $aFiction$xTechnique 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 0$aFiction$xTechnique. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 676 $a808.3/93 700 $aWilliams$b Jeffrey$f1958-$0126575 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778874003321 996 $aTheory and the novel$93854600 997 $aUNINA
