{"product_id":"narratology-9780199687701","title":"Narratology","description":"This volume explores the extraordinary contribution that classical poetics has made to twentieth and twenty-first century theories of narrative, aiming not to argue that modern narratologies simply present 'old wine in new wineskins', but rather to identify the diachronic affinities shared\u003cbr\u003ebetween ancient and modern stories about storytelling. By recognizing that modern narratologists bring a particular expertise to bear upon ancient literary theory, and by interrogating ancient and modern narratologies through the mutually imbricating dynamics of their reception, it seeks to arrive\u003cbr\u003eat a better understanding of both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter selects a key moment in the history of narratology on which to focus, providing an overview of significant phases before offering detailed analyses of core theories and texts, from the Russian formalists and Chicago school neo-Aristotelians, through the prestructuralists, \u003cbr\u003estructuralists, and poststructuralists, up to the latest unnatural and antimimetic narratologists. The reception history that thus unfolds offers some remarkable plot twists and yields valuable insights into the interpretation of some notoriously difficult ancient works. Plato in the \u003cem\u003eRepublic\u003c\/em\u003e is\u003cbr\u003eunmasked as an unreliable narrator and theorist, while Aristotle's \u003cem\u003eOn Poets\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a rare glimpse of the philosopher putting narrative theory into practice in the role of storyteller. Horace's \u003cem\u003eArs Poetica\u003c\/em\u003e and the works of ancient scholia by critics and commentators evince a rhetorically conceived\u003cbr\u003epoetics and sophisticated reader-response-based narratology which indicate a keen interest in audience affect and cognition - anticipating the cognitive turn in narratology's most recent postclassical phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Genevieve Liveley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199687701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenevieve Liveley, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Classics, University of Bristol\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGenevieve Liveley is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Bristol.
