Recognition: The Poetics of Narrative :

An interdisciplinary collection of essays, this book advances the study of anagnorisis ("recognition"), a quintessential concept in Aristotelian poetics. The volume explores narrative structure and epistemology by examining how anagnorisis works in narrative fiction, music, and film. Contributors hail from the fields of cinema; opera; religion; medieval and modern English, German, and French literatures; comparative literature; and Indian (Sanskrit) and Islamic (Arabic) literatures, both classical and modern.
