Description
This collection of essays explores the nature and value of narrative as a means by which human beings attempt to represent and make sense of the world. With contributions from fourteen distinguished scholars, the study of narrative has emerged as an invaluable source of insight for all branches of human and natural science.
The contributors dramatize and clarify the most fundamental debates about the nature and value of narrative, demonstrating that its study has taken a significant leap forward in the modern era. No longer confined to literary specialists, the study of narrative now draws on insights from psychology, linguistics, and other fields.
