- Reviews -

Praise for the second edition: ' This second edition of H. Porter Abbott' s very widely used (and highly regarded) Introduction is even stronger than the first edition. The new edition includes two additional chapters, one on ' Narrative and Truth' and the other on ' Narrative Worlds,' which incorporate recent research by a range of scholars exploring the relevant issues, and, furthermore, the author has painstakingly reworked the entire volume to ensure accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clarity in its treatment of major trends in the study of narrative . . . What was true of the first edition is even more true of the second: this Introduction is not only an appropriate text for classes focusing on narrative - including advanced undergraduate and graduate classes in such (sub)disciplines as literary theory, film theory, communication studies, discourse analysis, women' s and gender studies, history, comparative media studies, and critical legal theory - but also an invaluable resource for specialists. ' David Herman, editor of The Cambridge Companion to Narrative Praise for the first edition: ' Abbott brilliantly zeroes in on the architecture of narrative with an exactness and bent for orderly exposition that utterly redeems his subject. ' The Chronicle of Higher Education Praise for the first edition: ' Anyone seeking a lucidly written guide to the study of narrative technique should turn immediately to H. Porter Abbott' s Cambridge Introduction to Narrative. ' Literature/Film Quarterly Praise for the first edition: ' Directness, accessibility, and coherence distinguish this brief but comprehensive study of narrative . . . Most highly recommended. ' Choice Praise for the first edition: ' A lucid, practical, wide-ranging, and often original introduction to narrative, which will be extremely useful in undergraduate and graduate courses on literary theory and criticism. This is not a dry textbook, however; the reader is made aware of a real voice and of a fascination with the role of narrative across many areas of culture and beyond. ' Derek Attridge, University of York
