Epistolarity: approaches to a form
In this first book-length treatment of the broad topic of epistolary fiction, Dr. Altman explores the structures of mediation, confidentiality, readership, closure, discourse, and narrativity that make it possible to specify epistolary fiction as a genre, and uses these to ground interpretations of individual works. Dr. Altman’s conclusion establishes the foundations for a general analysis of the formal and historical permutations of the genre within the framework of current narratological study, and her generously full critical bibliography will constitute a valuable tool for further investigation.
