Dialogue as a stylistic and narrative device is a key feature in the development of the novel as a genre, yet it is also a phenomenon little acknowledged or explored in the critical literature. Fictional Dialogue demonstrates the richness and versatility of dialogue as a narrative technique in twentieth- and twenty-first-century novels by focusing on extended extracts and sequences of utterances. It also examines how different versions of dialogue may help to normalize or idealize certain patterns and practices, thereby excluding alternative possibilities or eliding "unevenness" and differences. Bronwen Thomas, by bringing together theories and models of fictional dialogue from a wide range of disciplines and intellectual traditions, shows how the subject raises profound questions concerning our understanding of narrative and human communication. The first study of its kind to combine literary and narratological analysis with reference to linguistic terms and models, Bakhtinian theory, cultural history, media theory, and cognitive approaches, this book is also the first to focus in depth on the dialogue novel in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and to bring together examples of dialogue from literature, popular fiction, and nonlinear narratives. Beyond critiquing existing methods of analysis, it outlines a promising new method for analyzing fictional dialogue"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aFrontiers of narrative. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDialogue in literature 606 $aConversation in literature 606 $aDialogism (Literary analysis) 606 $aModernism (Literature) 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature) 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDialogue in literature. 615 0$aConversation in literature. 615 0$aDialogism (Literary analysis) 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 676 $a823/.90926 686 $aLIT004020$2bisacsh 700 $aThomas$b Bronwen$01597884 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806142103321 996 $aFictional dialogue$94092337 997 $aUNINA
