• W756761844 abstract "Brian Richardson, ed. Narrative Beginnings: Theories and Practices. Lincoln and London: U of Nebraska P, 2008. xi + 281 pp. Caroline Levine and Mario Ortiz-Robles, eds. Narrative Middles: Navigating Nineteenth-Century British Novel. Columbus: Ohio State UP, 2011.257 pp. As is well known, both Aristotle and representatives of Chicago school of literary criticism argue that narratives consist of beginnings, middles, and endings. So far, numerous theorists (such as Peter Brooks, Frank Kermode, J. Hillis Miller, and Hayden White, for instance) have paid particular attention to endings because final events were considered to be ultimate sites of narrative significance. It is therefore extremely refreshing that two new volumes theorize forms and functions of other two segments of Aristotelian triad. Narrative Beginnings, edited by Brian Richardson, discusses and problematizes idea of beginning, while Narrative Middles, edited by Caroline Levine and Mario Ortiz-Robes, seeks to settle itself to the bewildering, massive, deliberately undramatic enterprise of coming to terms with middles (2). Both collections are clearly manifestations of postclassical narratology insofar as they fuse formal analysis with an interest in political implications of narrative structures. essays in Narrative Beginnings discriminate between different types of beginnings in fictional and factual narratives, and they also deal with ideological ramifications of beginning strategies. Brian Richardson, for example, distinguishes between paratext (the authorial as well as institutional antetext), commencement of narrative discourse (syuzhet), and start of story (fabula) (113-25). Catherine Romagnolo offers a slightly different typology: she discriminates between discursive beginning (the opening lines as well as paratextual material), chronological beginning (the earliest narrated moment in text), causal beginning (the catalytic narrative moment), and thematic beginnings (thematic explorations of concept of origins and/or beginnings) (152-55). collection consists of three parts: contributions in Part I (Origins, Paratexts, and Prototypes) deal with artificiality of ideas of birth and origin (Leander), paratextual author personae that hover ambivalently between implied and real author (Edelstein), and historical narratives about war on terror (Hogan) and World War II (Carrard). In second part (Beginnings in Narrative Literature), contributors pay particular attention to elusiveness of beginnings in literary narratives. More specifically, they discuss complexity and richness of beginning strategies in Laurence Steme's Tristram Shandy (Tita Chico), Virginia Woolf's oeuvre (Melba-Cuddy Kane), Joyce's The Dead and Beckett's Molloy (Brian Richardson), Manuel Puig's Boquitas pintadas (Carlos Riob6), Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children (Gaura Shankar Narayan), Julia Alvarez's Garcia Girls (Catherine Romagnolo), Richards Schechner's environmental theater performances (Ryan Claycomb), and Caitlin Fisher's web fiction These Waves of Girls (Jessica Laccetti). essays in Part III (Beginnings and/as Endings), finally, investigate complex relationship between narrative beginnings and narrative endings: James Phelan demonstrates how Toni Morrisson's Beloved binds its beginning to its ending, while Armine Kotin Mortimer illustrates that in many examples of French literature, ending is already prefigured in beginning. Oliver Buckton, on other hand, deals with political implications of incompleteness of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped as well as fragmentation of its sequel David Balfour, while Susan Winnett looks at Carol Shields's Unless and Mary Gordon's Pearl, both of which end with new beginnings that require a reconceptualization of female plots in general and mother-daughter relations in particular. …" @default.
