Content:
"Presenting pioneering work at the intersection of stylistics and narrative study, this volume explores the many ways in which narratives are retold in literary and non-literary texts. Taking an empirical stylistic approach, chapters analyse the process of retelling across a rich variety of genres and contexts, including literary classics, contemporary horror, personal traumatic experience, news stories and cosmetic advertising. The volume reconceptualises common retellings, such as translation, adaptation and modernisation, and offers fresh insights into experiences retold as autofiction, witness statements and advertorials on social media"--
