We are grateful to the University of Nebraska Press for giving us the chance to expand and revise this book. Thanks in particular to Kristen Elias Rowley and her successor, Alicia Christensen, for supervising the new project. We have made a number of corrections and additions to chapters 1 and 2 (especially on setting and character), and we have completely overhauled chapter 3 so that it covers all the major developments in postclassical narratology. Special thanks to the Dutch graphic artist Wasco, whose narrative “City” we have used as an extra test case, and to Jan Baetens, Lars Bernaerts, and Dirk de Geest, who generously shared their expert knowledge during the preparation of this new edition. Luc Vernimmen helped us with some of the tables and figures. Thanks also to Tom Vandevelde and Koen De Temmerman, whose eagle eyes helped us to iron out details in chapter 2. The section on cultural narratology and socio-narratology in chapter 3 is based on an early version of Luc Herman and Bart Vervaeck, “A Theory of Narrative in Culture,” Poetics Today 38, no. 4 (2017): 605–34.
