Models of narrative

While models have played a key role in the development of a variety of fields, they have remained largely overlooked by literary scholars. Models of Narrative applies this potentially rich and productive mode of approach to the study of narrative, especially as it pertains to temporal, spatial, and dialogic relations as fundamental features of all narrative. In analyzing the concept and practice of literary modeling, Danow leads the reader on a search for compelling order, recognizable patterns, and viable concepts in literary works, making it possible to comprehend and present such considerations in accessible and engaging terms. The book clarifies common difficulties in literary conceptualization and interpretation and addresses a wide array of literary works by such luminaries as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pasternak, Garcia Marquez, and Hawthorne.
