  7. 20. "The Relative Merits of Goodness and Originality" : The Ethics of Storytelling in Peter Carey’s Novels

    Författare :Christer Larsson; Stephen Knight; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English language; Peter Carey; Speech Acts; Closure; Ethics and Literature; Engelska; English language; Engelska språket; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to demonstrate that recurrent formal and thematic patterns in Peter Carey’s novels suggest an interrelation between the works, and that an analysis which takes that interrelation into account can extract an argument concerning the ethics of storytelling from the texts. The issue of the status of fictional discourse receives prominent and complex consideration in Carey’s novels, and this study argues that Carey presents storytelling as an intentional mode of social interaction, defined and governed by extra-linguistic conventions.
