Acts of Naming: The Family Plot in Fiction
Ragussis, Michael (Associate Professor of English, Associate Professor of English, Georgetown University, Washington)
Michael Ragussis re-reads the novelistic tradition by arguing that acts of naming--such as bestowing, earning, slandering or protecting a name--lie at the center of fictional plots from the 18th century to the present.
