Literary studies: general

Hardback. How and why do readers attribute an ethos (of, for example, sincerity, reliability, authority, or irony) to literary characters, narrators, and even to authors? Are there particular conditions under which it is more appropriate for interpreters to attribute an ethos to authors, rather than to narrators? This book proposes to such questions. Series: Frontiers of Narrative. Num Pages: 344 pages. BIC Classification: DSB; DSK. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 163 x 229 x 29. Weight in Grams: 664.
