Narrative form and chaos theory in Sterne, Proust, Woolf, and Faulkner[electronic resource]/Jo Alyson Parker. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - xvi, 187 p. :ill.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Chaos Theory and the Dynamics of Narrative -- Narrating against the Clockwork Hegemony: Tristram Shandy's Games with Temporality -- Narrating the Workings of Memory: Iteration and Attraction inIn Search of Lost Time -- Narrating the Unbounded: Mrs. Dalloway's Life, Septimus's Death, and Sally's Kiss -- Narrating the Indeterminate: Shreve McCannon inAbsalom, Absalom!

Drawing on the insights offered by contemporary chaos theory, Narrative Form and Chaos Theoryexplores how models of turbulent dynamical systems in the physical world parallel structures in certain kinds of narratives. By closely looking at Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy, Marcel Proust's InSearch of Lost Time, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, and William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom!, Parker demonstrates how these insights can be applied to the analysis of narrative structure and meaning.This innovative interdisciplinary work will appeal to scholars interested in narratology and in theconnection between chaos theory and literature.
