Narrative Retellings: Stylistic Approaches: Advances in Stylistics

Editat de Professor Marina Lambrou
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2022
Narrative Retellings presents pioneering work at the intersection of stylistics and narrative study to provide new insights into the diverse forms of fictional and factual narratives and their retellings. Common types of retelling, such as translation, adaptation, textual intervention and reader responses are reconceptualised in the chapters, and fresh insights are offered into experiences retold as autofiction, witness statements and advertorials on social media. From modernising the most cherished novels of Jane Austen to deciphering conflicting testimonials following the Hillsborough disaster, this volume reveals the complexities involved in all forms of narrative retellings. As such, it makes a valuable contribution to the interdisciplinary study of stylistics and to the understanding of narrative texts.

The volume illustrates the richness and diversity of contemporary stylistics, offering rigorous investigations into a range of retellings across media.
This important and compelling new collection offers an array of exciting stylistic analyses of both fictional and non-fictional narratives. Written by a team of well-known international researchers, the essays which comprise this volume mark a significant contribution to the field of narrative stylistics. More particularly, this book will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the stylistic characteristics and implications of how stories are told and retold.
This original volume offers a transparent exposition of narrative retellings across a wide range of textual modes, mediums and genres. It is a meticulously cultured work and is a must read for anyone interested in the emergent insights that can be apprehended at the crossroads of stylistics and narrative study.
