Taking its cues from Richard Walsh's influential 2007 book, The Rhetoric of Fictionality, Fictionality and Literature sets out to examine the implications of a rhetorical understanding of fictionality. A rhetorical approach understands fictionality and nonfictionality not as binary opposites but as different means to the same end: influencing an audience's understanding of the world. Arguing that fiction is not just a feature of particular works, such as novels, but an adaptable instrument used to achieve an author's specific rhetorical goals, the contributors theorize how to reconceive of core literary features and influences such as author, narrator, Description, character, consciousness, metaphor, metafiction/metalepsis, intertextuality, paratext, ethics, and social justice.
