[ecrea] New Book from Routledge - Narrative, 2nd Edition

Narrative, 2nd Edition - By Paul Cobley

Series: The New Critical Idiom



Human beings have constantly told stories, presented events and placed 
the world into narrative form. This activity suggests a very basic way 
of looking at the world, yet, this book argues, even the most seemingly 
simple of stories is embedded in a complex network of relations. Paul 
Cobley traces these relations, considering the ways in which humans have 
employed narrative over the centuries to ‘re-present’ time, space and 
identity.



This second, revised and fully updated edition of the successful 
guidebook to narrative covers a range of narrative forms and their 
historical development from early oral and literate forms through to 
contemporary digital media, encompassing Hellenic and Hebraic 
foundations, the rise of the novel, realist representations, narratives 
of imperialism, modernism, cinema, postmodernism and new technologies. A 
final chapter reviews the way that narrative theory in the last decade 
has re-orientated definitions of narrative.



Written in a clear, engaging style and featuring an extensive glossary 
of terms, this is the essential introduction to the history and theory 
of narrative.
