Narrative Retellings presents pioneering work at the intersection of
stylistics and narrative study to provide new insights into the
diverse forms of fictional and factual narratives and their
retellings. Common types of retelling, such as translation,
adaptation, textual intervention and reader responses are
reconceptualised in the chapters, and fresh insights are offered into
experiences retold as autofiction, witness statements and advertorials
on social media. From modernising the most cherished novels of Jane
Austen to deciphering conflicting testimonials following the
Hillsborough disaster, this volume reveals the complexities involved
in all forms of narrative retellings. As such, it makes a valuable
contribution to the interdisciplinary study of stylistics and to the
understanding of narrative texts.
