Description
Paul Ricoeur's Time and Narrative, Volume 2 explores the relationships between time and narrative in fiction and literary theories. He examines how far the concept of "plot" can be expanded in narrative fiction and whether it loses its meaning at some point.
Ricoeur argues that fiction relies on the reader's understanding of narrative traditions, which include a temporal dimension. He investigates how time is expressed in narrative fiction through the use of tenses, point of view, and voice. This approach is applied to three notable works: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, and Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust.
This work is a significant contribution to literary theory and criticism under the influence of philosophical hermeneutics. Ricoeur's encyclopedic knowledge of the subject makes this book an essential resource for students of rhetoric.
