Narrative Beginnings by Brian Richardson
George Eliot wrote that man cannot do without the make-believe of a beginning. Beginnings, it turns out, can be quite unusual, complex, and deceptive. The first major volume to focus on this critical but neglected topic, this collection brings together theoretical studies and critical analyses of beginnings in a wide range of narrative works spanning several centuries and genres.-
