Description:
This analytical study provides a welcome balance to the critical practice of judging all narrative literature by standards appropriate only to the novel. Scholes and Kellogg argue that such a narrow view obscures the real tradition of narrative literature in the Western world. Examining the
work of Joyce, Proust, Mann, Lawrence, Faulkner, and other writers of this century, they consider elements common to all narrative forms, including myth, folktale, epic, romance, allegory, confession, and satire.
