The book brings out the extent to which mainstream mimetic theories have relied upon the elastic notion of an invisible, idealized observer, a convenient spook whom critics can summon up whenever they desire to "naturalize" style. The book also makes distinctions among types of subjectivity; after this, we will have much more precise ways of tracing the fluctuations among a character's vision, dreams, wishes, and so forth. Branigan also explains the necessity of distinguishing levels of narration UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110817591 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110817591 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110817591/original ER -
