Jan Baetens and Hugo Frey explore this exciting form of visual and literary communication, showing readers how to situate and analyze graphic novels since their rise to prominence half a century ago. Several key questions are addressed: What is the graphic novel? How do we read graphic novels as narrative forms? Why is page design and publishing format so significant? What theories are developing to explain the genre? How is this form blurring the categories of high and popular literature? Why are graphic novelists nostalgic for the old comics? The authors address these and many other questions raised by the genre. Through their analysis of the works of many well-known graphic novelists - including Bechdel, Clowes, Spiegelman and Ware - Baetens and Frey offer significant insights for future teaching and research on the graphic novel"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000718401 650_0 $$aGraphic novels$$xHistory and criticism. 000718401 650_0 $$aComic books, strips, etc.$$xHistory and criticism. 000718401 7001_ $$aFrey, Hugo,$$eauthor. 000718401 830_0 $$aCambridge introductions to literature. 000718401 85200 $$bgen$$hPN6710$$i.B235$$i2015 000718401 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718401$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718401 980__ $$aBIB 000718401 980__ $$aBOOK
