Theories of Narrative and Narration
ENGL 119 SP

This course investigates various attempts to explain what narratives are, how some come into dominance, how others challenge that fact of domination, and how as a result narratives change historically. The course consists of three units: the first looks at formalist, structuralist, and post-structuralist models of narrative; the second considers accounts of the rise of the novel; the third samples marxist, feminist, racial, and postcolonial challenges to those master narratives.
