0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An excellent. original approach to narrativeeBy A critical readerAn excellent and innovative theory of narrative by a specialist in film and in medieval literature. He casts his net wide. and he focuses not on plot as the fundamental feature of narrative but on what he calls "following." A narrative can follow one main character. or be structured to follow two different protagonists. with important consequences for the structure of the narrative. or multiple protagonists. Clear and well-written. without usual narratological technical terms.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy LEONARDO JULIOExcellent and innovative account of narrative structure in literature. art. and film2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent introduction to critical ideas in narrative theoryBy Bob PatThis is an excellent introduction to narratology and the study of narrative. In Chapter One. Altman offers a clear overview of "The Traditional Understanding of Narrative" and his suggestions for "A New Approach to Narrative Analysis."Chapter Two is a tour-de-force study of The Song of Roland. a medieval Anglo-Saxon epic (which in my opinion shows clear evidence of influencing Tolkien). I reread this chapter recently because I read The Song of Roland for the first time. Altmans ideas about "following patterns." "symmetry." "integration." and "polarity adjustment" are insightful and beautifully expressed.Altmans greatest strength in my opinion is that he brings the reader up to an understanding quickly. and does not obfuscate (bewilder. confuse. or stupefy) while making his case for his theories.
