Ruth Ronen develops a comparative reading of the use of possible worlds in philosophy and in literary theory. She suggests new criteria for the definition of fictionality; and through specific studies of domains within fictional worlds--events, objects, time and point of view--she proposes a radical rethinking of fictionality in general and fictional narrativity in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614905614487,"sku":"9780521450171","price":11937.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521450171.webp?v=1775097396","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/possible-worlds-in-literary-theory-9780521450171","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
