A Narratology of Drama

More about the book

Challenging Gérard Genette's view of an inherent divide between drama and narrative, this volume explores their intertwined nature throughout literary history. It posits that drama is fundamentally narrative, examining how plays incorporate narrative elements. The study offers a historical perspective on dramatic storytelling from the Renaissance to the present, analyzing key British plays and their narrative modes within cultural contexts. Ultimately, it asserts that narrative-driven drama influences socio-political realities, extending its impact beyond the stage.
