Until now, there was no theoretical research of character in children's fiction and very few comprehensive theoretical studies of literary characters in general. In her latest intellectual foray, the author of \u003ci\u003eFrom Mythic to Linear\u003c\/i\u003e ponders the art of characterization. Through a variety of critical perspectives, she uncovers the essential differences between story (\"what we are told\") and discourse (\"how we are told\"), and carefully distinguishes between how these are employed in children's fiction and in general fiction. Yet another masterful work by a leading figure in contemporary criticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaria Nikolajeva\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Comparative Literature at Stockholm University in Stockholm, Sweden.
