Product Description
The Cambridge Companion to Narrative, first published in 1997, provides a unique and valuable overview of current approaches to narrative study. An international team of experts explores ideas of storytelling and methods of narrative analysis as they have emerged across diverse traditions of inquiry and in connection with a variety of media, from film and television, to storytelling in the 'real-life' contexts of face-to-face interaction, to literary fiction. Each chapter presents a survey of scholarly approaches to topics such as character, dialogue, genre or language, shows how those approaches can be brought to bear on a relatively well-known illustrative example, and indicates directions for further research. Featuring a chapter reviewing definitions of narrative, a glossary of key terms and a comprehensive index, this is an essential resource for both students and scholars in many fields, including language and literature, composition and rhetoric, creative writing, jurisprudence, communication and media studies, and the social sciences.

I have to say this book is something I would expect to see at my local community college. This is almost a direct quote from the book, "The begging of a story is when things start, and towards the end they come to a close." THIS IS THE ENTIRE BOOK! It is the most redundant, simple minded, pointless piece of crap I have ever read. If you want to read the same thing for a hundred pages, get this book. A complete waste of time and money.
