In this work, the author shows how fiction works in the constitution and reproduction of social life. The book does not reduce fiction to a functional support for ideology, but considers that the greatest interest in fiction is as a source of pleasure.
In this book, Mary Talbot shows how fiction works in the constitution and reproduction of social life. She discusses both `high'' and `low'' fiction, combining discussion of social context with language analysis. Examples are taken from children''s tales, romance, horror and science in her language analysis.
