Volume I: Close reading or micro-stylistic analysisThe first volume provides a range of theoretical 'models' for the analysis of narrative style, and examines how these bear on important - though not necessarily canonical - literary texts.Volume II: Structural analysis of larger artefactsSince structuralist narratology, as distinct from style analyses, remains highly abstract, this volume consists of sample analyses of a variety of cultural artefacts, with an emphasis on plot and structure, as well as the key theoretical articles.Volume III: Politically and socially oriented critiques of cultureVolume three demonstrates the ongoing and increasing relevance of narratological tools and concepts for a politically aware analysis.Volume IV: Interdisciplinary methodsThe last volume includes texts that explicitly broach the question of how narrative theory can be brought to bear on objects not traditionally considered primarily narrative.
