Gammelgaard\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking its cues from Richard Walsh's influential 2007 book, \u003ci\u003eThe Rhetoric of Fictionality\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFictionality and Literature\u003c\/i\u003e sets out to examine the implications of a rhetorical understanding of fictionality. A rhetorical approach understands fictionality and nonfictionality not as binary opposites but as different means to the same end: influencing an audience's understanding of the world. Arguing that fiction is not just a feature of particular works, such as novels, but an adaptable instrument used to achieve an author's specific rhetorical goals, the contributors theorize how to reconceive of core literary features and influences such as author, narrator, plot, character, consciousness, metaphor, metafiction\/metalepsis, intertextuality, paratext, ethics, and social justice. Combining analyses of a wide range of texts by Colson Whitehead, Charles Dickens, Kazuo Ishiguro, Toni Morrison, Geoffrey Chaucer, and others with historical events such as the Nat Tate biography hoax and the Anders Breivik murders, contributors discuss not only a rhetorical definition of fictionality but also the wider consequences of such a conception. In addition, some chapters within \u003ci\u003eFictionality and Literature\u003c\/i\u003e offer alternatives to a rhetorical paradigm, thus expanding the volume's representation of the current state of the conversation about fictionality in literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: \u003cbr\u003e H.
