The papers collected in this volume study the function and meaning
of narrative texts from a variety of perspectives. The word "text"
is used here in the broadest sense of the term: it denotes literary
books, but also oral tales, speeches, newspaper articles and
comics. One of the purposes of this volume is to discover what
these different texts have in common. The texts are approached from
four main perspectives: New Philology, Linguistics, Iconography and
Reception studies. Contributors come from diverse disciplines, such
as Classical Studies, Medieval Studies, English literature,
Philosophy, Religious Studies, Cultural Studies, Art History,
Linguistics, and Communication and Information Studies, all united
in a common purpose to understand the workings of narrative texts.
