Centering around “the image of the author”, this book employs a subjectivity-POV-discourse approach to study realistic novels in the third-person narrative voice. It explains the theory of narrative subjectivity, the forms and types of narrators, the different characteristics and discourse forms of narrators and characters, and the traits and artistic effects of narrative subjectivity.
