Abstract:

This book makes an intensive study of James Phelan's rhetorical theory of 
narrative. Apart from illustrating six basic principles in doing rhetorical theory 
of narrative, the author examines six major issues which are central to 
Phelan's rhetorical poetics, namely, focalization, character narration, 
unreliable narration, narrative progression, narrative judgments, and narrative 
ethics. For each narratological concept, the author minutely conducts a 
genealogical study to make the review work complete. The book not only 
compares Phelan's rhetorical narratology with classical narratology but also 
with other strands of postclassical narratology. A detailed bibliography makes 
this book a compendium of narrative theory which is of relevance for scholars 
and students of all literary disciplines. 

Contents: Beyond the Poetics of Plot: Phelan's Theory of Narrative 
Progression - A New Light on the Old Concept: Phelan's Theory of Character 
Narrator - The Rhetorical Approach Revisited and Updated: Phelan's Theory 
of Unreliable Narration - "Narrator as Focalizer", and "Dual Focalization": 
Phelan's Theory of Focalization - The Activation of Multileveled Responses: 
Phelan's Theory of Narrative Judgments - The Ethics of "the Told", the 
Ethics of "the Telling", and the Ethics of "the Reading": Phelan's Theory of 
Narrative Ethics.
