Abstract |
The essay collection examines the theory and history of graphic narrative – realized in various different formats including comic strips, comic albums, manga, and graphic novels – as one of the most interesting and versatile forms of narrative beyond traditional literary texts. The essays collected in this volume test the applicability of narratological concepts to graphic narrative, examine aspects of graphic narrative beyond the ‘single work’, consider the development of particular narrative strategies within individual genres, and trace the forms and functions of graphic narrative across cultures. Analyzing a wide range of texts, genres, and narrative strategies from both theoretical and historical perspectives, the international group of scholars gathered in the present volume offers state-of-the-art research on graphic narrative in the context of an increasingly postclassical and transmedial narratology.
