Condizione: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. Observation and Narration in the American Novel 1790-1910. Klepper explores the massive development of narrative devices differentiating perspective and focalization in 19th century, and in particular historicizes the emergence of point of view as a central narrative technique and as theoretical concept - not only in literature. - The nineteenth century, like no century before or after, witnessed a revolution in narrative devices differentiating perspective and focalization. While narratives of the 1790s were all but dominated by either strictly authorial, confessional or epistolary formats, the entire gamut of modernist techniques had evolved by 1910: interior focalization, figuralization and reflectorization, stream of consciousness, unreliable narration, the dual voice. This book explores the reasons for this development, drawing on Niklas Luhmann's theory of second-order observation and the historical changes in visuality and spectatorship. It historicizes the emergence of point of view as a central narrative technique and as theoretical concept in literature, but also in philosophy, physiology, optics, psychology and sociology. From the rise of the novel in England it traces the sources and modes of complex literary perspectives through Romanticism and the American Renaissance to the modernist novels of Henry James.
