Reviews

`Review from previous edition abounds in analyses and arguments ' Times Literary Supplement `an ambitious, careful, and philosophically rich work containing a number of novel and important arguments ... The book has many virtues, and the greatest of them might be that it opens up new areas for exploration in the philosophic study of narrative ' Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews `The book is ambitious in its topics and contains fresh approaches to various traditional problems ... full of thought-provoking arguments and intriguing proposals.' Jukka Mikkonen, Mind


<br> Narratives and Narrators is an enjoyable book, with valuable insights to offer into both the relation between the external and internal perspectives and the expression of point of view. --Philosophy in Review<p><br>


a rich study. * Adriana Boneta,Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory * Rich with examples drawn from both literature and film ... the book makes an interesting and important contribution not only to our understanding of the nature of narratives but also to the nature of our engagement with them. * Amy Kind, The Philosophical Quarterly *
