"Combining narratological and stylistic methods, this book theorizes dual narrative dynamics comprised of plot development and covert progression, and demonstrates the consequences for the interpretation of literary works. In narratives with such dynamics, writers work simultaneously with overt and covert trajectories of signification, establishing a range of relationships between them. The two parallel narrative movements may complement, contradict or even subvert each other, and these relationships significantly influence readers' understanding not just of events but also of characters, themes, and aesthetic values. The book provides a systematic theoretical account of such previously neglected dual narrative dynamics, substantiated and enriched by thetextual analysis of works by Ambrose Bierce, Kate Chopin, Franz Kafka, and Katherine Mansfield. The study explores the many ways that these authors have used dual dynamics to increase the power of their narratives. In addition, the book identifies the challenges such dual dynamics present not only for narratology but also for stylistics and translation studies, and it develops sound and provocative proposals for meeting those challenges. In taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of narrative and literary theory, literary criticism, literary stylistics, and translation studies"--

Arvustused

Dan Shens 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 Shens 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

There are several reasons why Dan Shen has made, and continues to make, significant contributions to narrative studies. One reason is the original way in which she incorporates stylistics into her version of rhetorical narrative theory and analysis; a different yet linked reason is her insistence on the need for careful reading and rereading; a third one is her insightful exploration of the ethical dimension of narrative fictionand thus also of the act of reading and interpreting a narrative text. All these critical qualities are observable in her Dual Narrative Dynamics.

Jakob Lothe, Professor of University of Oslo, Norway

Dan Shen's Dual Narrative Dynamics deals with a central phenomenon of narrative and enriches narratology with essential insights into the acts of reading and giving meaning.
