Description

"Narrative Fiction and Death: Dying Imagined offers a new perspective on the study of death in literature: it focuses on narrative fiction that conveys the experience of dying from the internal perspective of a dying protagonist. Writers from Victor Hugo in the early 1800s to Elif Shafak in the present day have imagined the unknowable final moments on the threshold to death.
