- Double-weighted statement
- This 208 page book is the product of eight years of sustained research. Its contents do not overlap with any previously published research. It is broad and ambitious in scope, providing novel and unified accounts of a wide variety of aspects of fiction that are usually considered in isolation. These include the nature of fiction; the nature of fictive utterances; the determinants of fictive content; the existence and nature of fictional characters; and the role of external discourse in understanding and interpretation. As such, it represents research effort well beyond that which would normally be required for two outputs.
