Throughout centuries, literary texts reflect on the power of the frame. The thesis explores the way framed narratives have changed in form and function, and retraces the nexus between cultural context and narrative structure. It traces formal experiments with narrative framings back to early Romanticism. Starting with a bestseller from the 18th century, Horace Walpole's intricately framed \u003ci\u003eThe Castle of Otranto\u003c\/i\u003e (1764), and moving on to a later proponent of Romantic fiction, Mary Shelley's \u003ci\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e (1818), via Joseph Conrad's proto-Modernist \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e (1899\/1902), to an example of postmodern historiographic metafiction, Adam Thorpe's \u003ci\u003eHodd\u003c\/i\u003e (2009), the study travels through literary history, and, using these influential texts as examples, aims to show how frame-narratives have evolved both in form and function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Schabler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3825362698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783825362690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Universitatsverlag Winter Gmbh Heidelberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Daniel Schabler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48487077085439,"sku":"9783825362690","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ccf173c-b37e-45ce-a2bd-10722efa2cb5.jpg?v=1778058199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/framing-strategies-in-english-fiction-daniel-schabler-9783825362690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
