Synopsis

This interdisciplinary collection of essays advances the study of anagnorisis ("recognition"), a quintessential concept in Aristotelian poetics. This book explores narrative structure and epistemology by examining how anagnorisis works in narrative fiction, music, and film. Contributors hail from the fields of cinema ; opera ; religion ; medieval and modern English, German, and French literatures ; comparative literature ; and Indian (Sanskrit) and Islamic (Arabic) literatures, both classical and modern.
