Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This is a suggestive and fruitful volume which invites and encourages further reading, or rereading, of all the writers explored here." - John Batchelor, Modern Language Review, 107:4, (Octoober 2012), 1244-1245, p. 1245.

Reseña del editor:

The relation between narration and history from the perspective of the twentieth century - the century of criticisms - suggests a new outlook fit for the new millennium. We can no longer look at history and historiography naively, but must be aware of the rhetorical strategies that are at work in the writing. A research group based in Milan has been working on this topic for a few years, discussing authors and texts from different genres and epochs. The essays presented here deal with texts chosen because of their intrinsic relevance to the history of English-speaking cultures and recent critical perspectives - largely, but not exclusively, indebted to Hayden White. Thus the volume considers instances of narrativity and historical discourse in authors as diverse as S. Johnson, E. Chambers, C. Hill, J. Raban, V. Woolf, N. Mitchison, V. S. Naipaul, S. Rushdie, J. M. Coetzee, A. Ghosh.
