书籍简介

在过去的四十年里，《叙述的本质》一直是文学学生、教师、作家和学者的开创性工作。与将小说视为文学叙事范例的倾向相反，作者罗伯特·斯科尔斯和罗伯特·凯洛格在原版中提供了一段令人信服的从古代到二十世纪的体裁叙事历史，即使他们的主要任务是描述和分析故事的主要元素:意义、人物、情节和观点。他们的历史强调了文学叙事从古代到当代的广泛覆盖，其中包括一章关于书面叙事的口头遗产，以及一个关于古代文本中内心独白的附录。

这个开创性的工作的四十周年版本已经修订和扩大，包括一个新的序言和一个冗长的章节发展叙述理论自1966年以来由詹姆斯费伦。本章描述了结构主义、认知主义、女权主义和修辞主义叙事方法的原则和实践，特别关注他们在情节、人物和叙事话语方面的工作。

《叙述的本质》一直是叙事研究领域的领导者，它为叙事和叙事理论提供了独特而无价的历史。

For the past forty years The Nature of Narrative has been a seminal work for literary students, teachers, writers, and scholars. Countering the tendency to view the novel as the paradigm case of literary narrative, authors Robert Scholes and Robert Kellogg in the original edition offered a compelling history of the genre narrative from antiquity to the twentieth-century, even as they carried out their main task of describing and analyzing the nature of narrative's main elements: meaning, character, plot, and point of view. Their history emphasized the broad sweep of literary narrative from ancient times to the contemporary period, and it included a chapter on the oral heritage of written narrative and an appendix on the interior monologue in ancient texts.

The fortieth anniversary edition of this groundbreaking work has been revised and expanded to include a new preface and a lengthy chapter on developments in narrative theory since 1966 by James Phelan. This chapter describes the principles and practices of structuralist, cognitive, feminist, and rhetorical approaches to narrative, paying special attention to their work on plot, character, and narrative discourse.

A continued leader in the field of narrative studies, The Nature of Narrative offers unique and invaluable histories of both narrative and narrative theory.
