Narrative Theory and Television

Abstract

Whereas our ancestors used to listen to tall-tale spinners, read penny dreadfuls, tune in to radio dramas, or rush to the local bijou each Saturday, now we primarily satisfy our everconstant yearning for stories by gathering around the flickering box in the living room. Television is the principal storyteller in contemporary American society.
