Review title: Source Text
Product review: Modern narratology tends to forget that narrative theory, if notstructuralsim itself, came of age with this book. Why?Because m.n. likes to cast its net wider that folk-tales,not just into fiction, but also into the way we tell stories in 'fact' -in our everyday life (including law). The real attraction ofthis book, though, is not just its exegesis of Russian folk art,but its steely, unsentimental discipline, its awareness of what itsets aside to reveal deep structures, and its sensitivity to thecrossing of categories. It is concise, easy to read, and the folk-talesPropp examines are also available in translation in p/back.Propp is not like Genette: he doesn't need youto read the whole of Proust first. But he is essential,not least for those who plunge into the turbulentwaters of comparative literature.
