It is not. What we have instead is a series of chapters most of which take a particular text, and, more or less loosely, use some narratological vocabulary or techniques to offer a reading of that text. The standard reference point throughout is Genette, and the editors are clear that this is deliberate. They do not want to consider the multiple narratologies that now stalk the academy, nor the critiques of narratology from deconstruction, say, nor the challenge of a more politicized discourse of criticism to narratology. They insist on "narratology in the singular" and as a "heuristic tool" (3). So--they conclude disarmingly--"Narratology thus defined will not deliver fully developed interpretations" (3). But, lest you think that Narratology But Not Interpretation would have been a fairer title for such a project, they add that by combining narratology with other approaches, its usefulness can be released--and interpretation can after all emerge. So narratology in this account seems to be at best a useful catalyst in the critical test-tube, adding its sobriety to the headier brews where interpretation bubbles away: a formalist handmaiden to other approaches. 2ff7e9595c
