| Publisher Description: Because it tells in advance an event of the story, prolepsis runs the risk of ruining suspense; because it only evokes this event allusively, it may, on the contrary, help to create suspense. The book studies the paradoxes of this device, through a corpus ranging from the decade of the Astree to the last novels of Abbe Prevost. |
