The book focuses on the category of character in fiction. It analyses characters in individual texts by authors ranging from Conrad to Coetzee considered from rhetorical, structural, functional and cognitive perspectives; in genre contexts from utopia and fantasy to campus fiction; and in extra-textual contexts from intertextuality to autobiography.
