This activity suggests a very basic way of looking at the world, yet, this book argues, even the most seemingly simple of stories is embedded in a complex network of relations. Paul Cobley traces these relations, considering the ways in which humans have employed narrative over the centuries to 're-present' time, space and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second, revised and fully updated edition of the successful guidebook to narrative covers a range of narrative forms and their historical development from early oral and literate forms through to contemporary digital media, encompassing Hellenic and Hebraic foundations, the rise of the novel, realist representations, narratives of imperialism, modernism, cinema, postmodernism and new technologies. A final chapter reviews the way that narrative theory in the last decade has re-orientated definitions of narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a clear, engaging style and featuring an extensive glossary of terms, this is the essential introduction to the history and theory of narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Cobley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415834430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415834438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Paul Cobley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112900079871,"sku":"9780415834438","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67d1c4fc-101a-456e-8d9c-714dcfaa28c0.jpg?v=1769611697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narrative-paul-cobley-9780415834438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
