  This comprehensive, accessible guidebook traces the ways in which human beings have used narrative to make sense of time, space and identity over the centuries. Particular attention is given to:
  * early narrative, from Hellenic and Hebraic
  * the rise of the novel
  * realist representation
  * imperialism and narrative
  * modernism and cinema
  * postmodern narrative
  * narrative and new technologies.
  With a strong emphasis on clarity and a range of examples from oral cultures to cyberspace, this is the ideal guide to an essential critical topic.
