Antedating of "Narratology"

[Fred Shapiro]

narratology (OED 1974)

1971 tr. Tzvetan Todorov in _Diacritics_ I. 44  The typological remarks
which I have just offered ... pertain less to _poetics_ than to a
discipline which seems to me to have a solid claim to the right of
existence, and which could be called _narratology_.
