Etching “inconscience”: Unreliability as a function in narrative situations
Journal of Literary Studies, Vol.6(4), pp.289-303
1990
Abstract
The article takes as its point of departure Henry James's notion of “inconscience” or, as Booth was later to call it, unreliability, as a function of the mediator in narrative situations. It explores the literary etiology of the concept and illuminates by praxis the parameters within which such narrators are placed, offering in the conclusion a typology of “inconscient” narrators which may form the basis of subsequent narratological exegesis.
