| General description and relevant information |
In our course you will analyse
major narrative features and techniques and you will become familiar with some
of the key theoretical approaches to narrative study. We will examine the building blocks
of narrative, including aspects of narration, characterization and plot, focusing
on different narrative platforms, such as, the short story, the novel and essays. But
for the most part, we will be addressing the formal, stylistic
and thematic evolution of the novel from the nineteenth century to the present,
focusing on innovations in the novel’s form and fiction’s engagement with
history. |
