Abstract:

In this book, Beatrix Busse investigates speech, writing, and thought
presentation in a corpus of 19th-century narrative fiction including
"Frankenstein", "Jane Eyre", "Wuthering Heights", "Oliver Twist", and many
others. At the intersection between corpus linguistics and stylistics, this
book develops a new corpus-stylistic approach for systematically analyzing the
different narrative strategies of discourse presentation in key pieces of
19th-century narrative fiction. "Speech, Writing, and Thought Presentation in
19th-Century Narrative Fiction" identifies diachronic patterns as well as
unique authorial styles, and places them within their cultural-historical
context. It also suggests ways for automatically identifying forms of
discourse presentation, and shows that the presentation of characters' minds
reflects an ideological as well as an epistemological concern about what
cannot be reported, portrayed, or narrated. Through insightful
interdisciplinary analysis, Busse demonstrates that discourse presentation
fulfills the function of prospection and encapsulation, marks narrative
progression, and shapes readers' expectations.
