Recensione

"...Ronen's book is a most valuable and exciting contribution of great interest to two communities of specialized readers: those interested in the general dynamics of theory formation in cultural studies and those whose interests focus on one central issue in this sphere, fictional worlds and their constitutive domains." Uri Margolin, Style

"...illuminates the logic underlying an important interdisciplinary borrowing and constitutes a powerful reassessment of fictional narrativity. It is a splendid performance." Gerald Prince, Language of Design

Descrizione del libro

The concept of possible worlds, originally introduced in philosophical logic, is here used to explain the notion of fictional worlds. Through a comparative reading of the use of possible worlds in philosophy and in literary theory Ruth Ronen proposes a radical rethinking of fictionality in general and fictional narrativity in particular.
