Reviews

``Much of this book is necessarily difficult, given Knutson's subject, but the author makes every effort to be accessible, translating French quotations in footnotes and carefully defining all narratological terms. Recommended for large collections serving upper-division undergraduates through faculty.'' -- T. Ware, Queen's University, Choice
