This collection of essays studies the encounter between allegedly
ahistorical concepts of narrative and eighteenth-century
literature from across Europe. At issue is the question of
whether the theoretical concepts underpinning narratology are,
despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, actually
derived from the historical study of a particular period and type
of literature. The essays take on aspects of eighteenth-century
texts such as plot, genre, character, perspective, temporality,
and more, coming at them from both a narratological and a
historical perspective.
