EXPOSITIONAL MODES AND TEMPORAL ORDERING IN FICTION

" . . . this is one of the few books on narrative worth reading and rereading, a study that will make―or should make―a difference in the way we read narrative." ―Nineteenth Century Fiction

"This is a remarkable book: original, clear-sighted, and luminously focused on a subject that has never been explored nearly so systematically or intensively."―Dorrit Cohn, Harvard University

This book, long out of print, is now available in a paperback edition, providing another window into one of the most exciting minds working in the areas of literary and biblical literary criticism.

MEIR STERNBERG is Professor of Poetics and Comparative Literature at Tel Aviv University and author of The Poetics of Biblical Narrative.
