Narratology and the Classics is the first introduction to narratology that deals with classical narrative in epic, historiography, biography, the ancient novel, but also the many narratives inserted in drama or lyric.
This is an excellent introduction to narratology and its uses in the study of Classical literature. The combination of an overview of the theory (part I) and case studies (part II) works extremely well.
[a] stimulating guide: it will without doubt be of much use for classicists and narratologists alike, and I can only hope that it will play a key role in opening up the dialogue between the two fields and advancing the diachronization of narratology.
