A foundational work in the field of literary theory, Narratology: The Form and Function of Narrative by Gerald Prince presents a rigorous and systematic analysis of narrative structure. Prince argues that narrative is a fundamental mode of human communication, and instructs readers in the formal grammar that underlies all storytelling. Drawing on structuralist linguistics and semiotics, the work details the core components of narrative — including events, actors, time, and causality — with academic precision and clarity. The text has become an essential reference for scholars in literary studies, linguistics, and communication, cementing Prince's reputation as one of the leading voices in narratological theory.
