Focuses on the debate over whether it is possible to derive significant truths from fictional literature. Analyzes the concepts of fiction and narrative in a way that allows thorough epistemic evaluations of claims that truth can emerge from fictional narratives. Topics discussed include: the analysis of truth in literature; descriptions of fiction; analyzing fiction; fictional characters; truth in fiction; narrative generalizations; language and structure; interpretation and criticism; the limits of fiction; and fictional narratives and the creation of new truths. Suitable for upper-level and graduate students of philosophy and literature.
