Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Prose Fiction The aim of this little book is to discuss the outlines of the art of fiction. In writing it I have followed more or less closely the notes prepared, a few years ago, for a course of lectures on Prose Fiction at Princeton University. These lectures were repeated with several classes, and many teachers who have had occasion to examine the syllabus of the lectures, and the topical work as signed in connection with them, have asked me to print a hook that would be adapted to effective use in the classroom. I have confidence in the general method of fiction study which is here outlined, although the kindly co operation of my former pupils may have then given the study a certain ardor which the book will fail to impart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Prose Fiction, Vol. 1 HE value of Dunlop's History of Fiction, now again, after a long lapse of years, placed within reach of the English reader, needs no demonstration it is amply attested by the numerous quotations from and references to it in all works, even of the most recent date, upon the history of imaginative literature. The explorations in the field of the genesis and genealogy of fiction have, indeed, recently attained such extensive development that pro bably no single writer could now be found bold enough to review such a vast domain as forms the scope of Dunlop's undertaking.

Download or read book Prose Fiction An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative written by Ignasi Ribó and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and highly accessible textbook outlines the principles and techniques of storytelling. It is intended as a high-school and college-level introduction to the central concepts of narrative theory – concepts that will aid students in developing their competence not only in analysing and interpreting short stories and novels, but also in writing them. This textbook prioritises clarity over intricacy of theory, equipping its readers with the necessary tools to embark on further study of literature, literary theory and creative writing. Building on a ‘semiotic model of narrative,’ it is structured around the key elements of narratological theory, with chapters on plot, setting, characterisation, and narration, as well as on language and theme – elements which are underrepresented in existing textbooks on narrative theory. The chapter on language constitutes essential reading for those students unfamiliar with rhetoric, while the chapter on theme draws together significant perspectives from contemporary critical theory (including feminism and postcolonialism). This textbook is engaging and easily navigable, with key concepts highlighted and clearly explained, both in the text and in a full glossary located at the end of the book. Throughout the textbook the reader is aided by diagrams, images, quotes from prominent theorists, and instructive examples from classical and popular short stories and novels (such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Franz Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis,’ J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, or Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, amongst many others). Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative can either be incorporated as the main textbook into a wider syllabus on narrative theory and creative writing, or it can be used as a supplementary reference book for readers interested in narrative fiction. The textbook is a must-read for beginning students of narratology, especially those with no or limited prior experience in this area. It is of especial relevance to English and Humanities major students in Asia, for whom it was conceived and written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Masterpieces of Short Prose Fiction When we try to present narrative form of composition to the young student endeavoring to write and brought up on cheap magazines, we do not find that this evolutionary study reaches them. These stories seem to them remote and skele ton tales, not suggesting any immediacy of experience or of imagination. Moreover, they may justly maintain that the plot of Ruth and Naomi, or of Ruth and Boas, is properly a novel plot, demanding the complication of incident which would complete the framework of the story and set it apart from the true short story.

Download or read book A Study of the Types of Literature Classic Reprint written by Mabel Irene Rich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Types of Literature The chronological method of arrangement has been followed. Each type has been traced from its earliest appearance to the pres ent time, and those that have come to be regarded as the best exam ples of each form have been especially noted, and, Wherever pos sible, studied. Some of these, however, have been omitted here be cause they are usually emphasized in earlier years of the high School course, and others, because they are not suitable for high school study. The chronological tables given in the back of the book will be of value in keeping before the pupil the time sequence so that the types will not become detached in his mind from their literary periods. It has been deemed wise to include everything essential to the course in this one volume, with the exception of the material for outside readings, and the text of The Tale of Two Cities, full notes of which, however, are given. It is hoped that this wide choice of material, as well as the very full lists for outside readings in connection with each type, will make the book very adaptable and useful for the needs of experienced teachers even though they may, perhaps, wish to make some additions or substitutions for the selections used. It is also hoped that it will prove of especial value to inexperienced teachers, to those who have small library facilities, and to students who must economize in the cost of a course. Should there not be time to read in class all of the selections given here, some of this work could be assigned for outside readings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Prose Fiction, Vol. 2 In all the versions the tales are enclosed in a frame. A mode of composition subsequently adopted in many writings of a similar description. We are told that a powerful king, after being tired one day with the chase. Came, accompanied by his vizier, to a place of retreat and refreshment. Here the prince and his minister enter into a discourse on human life and government, a conversation which seems to have been suggested by a swarm of bees, which were at labour in the trunk of a neighbouring oak. During this discussion, the vizier mentions the story of Bidpai, and the Indian king who ruled according to his counsels. This frame is not believed to be more ancient than the Turkish version; but the story of Bidpai, which the king expresses a curiosity to hear, is supposed to be as old as the earliest Persian translation, and is of the follow ing tenor Dabchelim, the Indian king, after a feast in which his liberality had been much commended by all his guests, made a great distribution of gold among his friends and the poor. In the course of the following night, an old man appeared to him in a dream, and, as a reward generosity, informed him where he would find a treasure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prose Voyage Imaginaire Before 1800: An Historical and Critical Study Apology is perhaps due to a suffering public for adding to the already large stock of historical and critical naterial on the novel and romance;' but it may be urged in defence of this volume that it treats of a field which has so far been ignored by the chief critics and historians. The Germans, as the bibliography and the first chapter will indicate, have done considerable with the utopias, but not in a literary way; their interest has centered not in the literary or artistic qualities and significance of these works, but in tleir intellectual influence. Even historians of fiction have, while dealing with occasional works of this class, tended to ignore the type as a type; or when they did recognize its existence, they have not given it consideration enough to reder the formulation of an accurate definition possible. This dissertation has sought, therefore, to give Within the limits set for it a thorough historical survey of a class of prose fiction, as well as to define that class.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of English Fiction There was a time when by people with pretensions to a careful conscience the novel was regarded somewhat dubiously. That time, let us hope, is of the past. The existence of the novel as a form of fiction requires no vindication; no apology is needed for its pre-eminence in the popular taste of the day. Not only are we compelled to recognize the present supremacy of the novel in litera ture, we have also come to the point of appreciating its utility and power. The development of English fiction, the evolution of the English novel, forms in itself an interesting story; and an acquaintance with that story is essential to an apprehension of the real qualities of our fiction and to an intelligent estimate of its originality and its merits. To tell this story in outline and to indicate the characteristics of successive epochs in its growth is the purpose of this volume. The teacher may find it difficult to recognize the text-book in the preliminary chapters: he is reminded that these chapters form but the preface, and that his text-book begins with what comes after. With reference to the Selections, a word may be not amiss The translations from Beowulf and King Horn are rude enough, and it might have been wiser in the writer to utilize the labors of a more clever translator; he preferred, however, a version original albeit uncouth.

This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhetoric and the Study of Literature This volume, designed for use in the last two years of the secondary school course, contains such textbook matter as I think is needed to carry out these three ideas in an economical way: a brief review of rhetoric, including a little vocabulary of terms commonly employed in talking about books; a general classification and discussion of the various literary forms - fiction, drama, essay, etc - to gether with suggestions both general and specific concern ing how these forms may be studied; a summary by periods of English literature, containing what I think is the minimum that the pupil should know upon graduation such information as an intelligent man or woman surely ought to possess. I have not hesitated to include, in revised form, some matter that has already appeared in an earlier manual; but the exercises and questions, which form a considerable part of the whole, are new - new and yet old, for little has gone into this book that has not been tried out repeatedly in class room. In deed I have neither the courage nor the inclination to put forth in textbook form anything experimental.
