This introduction to narratology aims at presenting a systematic account of a theory of narrative for use in the study of literary and other narrative texts. Bal opts for a systematic, and hence selective, approach to teaching the discipline. She does so to augment the text’s accessibility, amplify the possibility of dialogue, and emancipate learners from intimidation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncorporating years of feedback from scholars and teachers, \u003cem\u003eNarratology\u003c\/em\u003e remains the most important contribution to the study of the way narratives work, are formed, and are received.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface to the Fifth Edition  \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  \u003cbr\u003e1. Text: Signs \u003cbr\u003e2. Story: Aspects\u003cbr\u003e3. Fabula: Elements\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Names and Titles\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Concepts\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702482596120,"sku":"9781487555276","price":40.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/narratology-introduction-to-the-theory-of-narrative-fifth-edition-hardback-9781487555276","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
