This book brings together a set of new essays examining characters and characterization in those books from a variety of methodological perspectives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essays illustrate how narratological, sociolinguistic, reader-response, feminist, redaction, reception historical, and comparative literature approaches can be fruitfully applied to the question of Luke's techniques of characterization. Theoretical and methodological discussions are complemented with case studies of specific Lukan characters. Together, the essays reflect the understanding that while many of the literary techniques involved in characterization attest a certain universality, each writer also brings his or her own unique perspective and talent to the portrayal and use of characters, with the result that analysis of a writer's characters and style of characterization can enhance appreciation of that writer's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Dicken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567681203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567681201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Frank Dicken","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946783834367,"sku":"9780567681201","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_010fba8f-12ba-445d-9c1a-3900534d8df0.jpg?v=1681515125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/characters-and-characterization-in-luke-acts-frank-dicken-9780567681201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
