Ebook: Metaleptische Bilder des Erzählens: Von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart

Open Access

What is narration? This book sheds light on two figurative responses that, in narratology, can be qualified as metalepses (the overlapping of narrative layers): narration as present observing and narration as the immediate production of action. This book pursues both ideas from antiquity to the present, with some far-reaching differences coming to light behind the formal constants.
