Staged Narrative
The messenger who reports important action that has occurred offstage is a familiar inhabitant of Greek tragedy.

Despite its prevalence, this conventional figure remains only little understood. Combining several critical approaches—narrative theory, genre study, and rhetorical analysis—this lucid study develops a synthetic view of the messenger of Greek tragedy, showing how this role illuminates some of the genre's most persistent concerns, especially those relating to language, knowledge, and the wo...

The Diary of an Almost Somebody is exactly what is says on the tin. It is the story of an ordinary life starting with his family history going back to the 18th century in Ireland.

Barrett's subjects include American communists, "blue-collar cosmopolitans"—such as well-read and well-traveled porters, sailors, and hoboe...
