The Routledge Encyclopedia of Narrative Theory

David Herman, Manfred Jahn, and Marie-Laure Ryan

The predominance of narrative as a focus of interest across multiple disciplines makes it imperative for scholars, teachers, and students to have access to a comprehensive reference resource - one that cuts across disciplinary specializations to provide information about the core concepts, categories, distinctions, and technical nomenclature that have grown up around the study of  stories. 

 The Routledge Encyclopedia of Narrative Theory aims to be just this kind of universal reference tool.  As a comprehensive one-stop resource for students and researchers in the many disciplines drawing on narrative theory and analysis, the Encyclopedia promises to be a milestone in the development  of the field and to make its mark on future elaborations and refinements of concepts of narrative.

Thus, while providing ample coverage of structuralist  models and features of literary narratives, beyond this the Encyclopedia aims to provide a comprehensive overview of all available paradigms for analysing stories, in whatever medium narrative happens to be realized.
