The Adventures of Eovaai
Author : Eliza Haywood
Publisher : Broadview Press
Page : 246 pages
File Size : 32,28 MB
Release : 1999-02-26
Category : Fiction
ISBN : 1551111977
Book Description
Haywood’s novel is the story of the beautiful Princess Eovaai. Groomed for the throne by her father, who teaches her Lockean notions of liberty, she is overthrown, enmeshed in civil war, and then magically transported to a foreign land by an evil man. Part magician, part politician, he plots to marry her for political reasons. The fascinating reflexive structure of The Adventures of Eovaai incorporates argumentative intrusions (by the Translator, an Historian, etc.), interweaves political and amatory storylines, and blends a wild mix of genres.
Narrative Concepts in the Study of Eighteenth-century Literature
Author : Liisa Steinby
Publisher : Crossing Boundaries: Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies
Page : 314 pages
File Size : 41,94 MB
Release : 2017
Category : European fiction
ISBN : 9789089648747
Book Description
This collection of essays studies the encounter between allegedly ahistorical concepts of narratology and eighteenth-century literature. It questions whether the general concepts of narratology are as such applicable to historically specific fields, or whether they need further specification. Furthermore, at issue is the question whether the theoretical concepts actually are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature. In the essays such concepts as genre, plot, character, event, tellability, perspective, temporality, description, reading, metadiegetic narration, and paratext are scrutinized in the context of eighteenth-century texts. The writers include some of the leading theorists of both narratology and eighteenth-century literature.
