Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, viii + 213 pages, NOT ex-library. Clean and bright throughout with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Boards show minor handling wear. Published without a dust jacket. -- An event, defined as the decisive turn, the surprising point in the plot of a narrative, constitutes its tellability, the motivation for reading it. The book describes a framework for a narratological definition of eventfulness and its dependence on the historical, socio-cultural and literary context. The detailed analyses of 15 British novels or tales, from early modern times to the late 20th century, demonstrate how this concept can be put into practice for a new, specifically contextual interpretation of the central relevance of these texts. This selection is focused on the transitional period from 19th-century realism to 20th-century modernism because during these decades traditional concepts of what counts as an event were variously problematized; therefore, these texts provide a particularly interesting field for testing the analytical capacity of the term of eventfulness. -- Contents: Introduction; Late Medieval and Early Modern: -- Geoffrey Chaucer: The Miller's Tale (ca. 1390-1400); Aphra Behn: Oroonoko (1688); 18th Century: -- Daniel Defoe: Moll Flanders (1722); Samuel Richardson: Pamela (1740); Henry Fielding: Tom Jones (1749); Premodern and Modernist: -- Charles Dickens: Great Expectations (1861); Thomas Hardy: On the Western Circuit (1891); Henry James: The Beast in the Jungle (1903); James Joyce: Grace (1914); Joseph Conrad: The Shadow-Line (1917); Virginia Woolf: An Unwritten Novel (1921); D.H.
