Reviews

“Dan Shen’s Dual Narrative Dynamics is a compelling intervention into studies of plot and progression with important implications for multiple fields. A sequel to her Style and Rhetoric of Short Narrative Fiction: Covert Progressions Behind Overt Plots (Routledge, 2014), this book extends her earlier work with a meticulous theorizing of Shen’s concept of ‘dual narrative dynamics’ and a new series of powerful, original readings of well-known short stories by Kate Chopin, Ambrose Bierce, Franz Kafka, and Katherine Mansfield. Rigorously argued, methodically structured, elegantly and engagingly written, Dual Narrative Dynamics is an invaluable contribution to narrative theory, stylistics, and translation studies.” Kelly A. Marsh, Professor of Mississippi State University, USA, Style.
