A Dictionary of Narratology by Gerald Prince
Cutting across many disciplines, narratology describes the language of narrative with its regularly recurring patterns, deeply established conventions for transmission, and interpretive codes, whether in novels, cartoons, or case studies. This book offers access to terms and concepts that are defined, illustrated, and cross-referenced.
“An essential book for the study of narrative”—Southern Humanities Review
“A Dictionary of Narratology is a remarkable feat. It is a specialized dictionary documenting important research, compiled by a scholar who has been centrally involved in the field and who writes with clarity, precision, and a sense of humor.”—Substance
“A very useful compilation of definitions of the terms used in narrative theory. . . . Prince is eclectic and uses the elements of many schools of theory. The book is well cross-referenced and it contains a carefully selected bibliography of the essential works in the field.”—American Literary Scholarship
