The Mirror in the Text ReviewAn excellent, relatively plain English treatment of one of the most critical devices in the narrative toolbox. Dallenbach examines the development of mise en abyme--the mirror in the text the author/autuer/artist uses to illuminate the main thrust of the text, painting, or film. We see the technique everyday--be it the "play within a play" in "Hamlet", the subplot of Brooks Hadlin in "Shawshank Redemption", or any of the mirrored images in the paintings of Velasquez. Now Dallenbach gives an articulate and elegant examination of how it functions within literary and artistic works. With plenty of examples and a direct approach to its treatment of literary criticism--an area all too often obtusely treated--it is a good text for someone interested in narratology, although not a casual read.The Mirror in the Text Overview
