Fiction and Narrative

Fiction and Narrative: For the past twenty years there has been a virtual consensus in philosophy that there is a special link between fiction and the imagination. In particular, fiction has been defined in terms of the imagination: what it is for something to be fictional is that there is some requirement that a reader imagine it. Derek Matravers argues that this rests on a mistake the proffered definitions of 'the imagination' do not link it with fiction but with representations moregenerally. In place of the flawed consensus, he offers an account of what it is to read, listen to, or watch a narrative whether that narrative is fictional or non-fictional. The view that emerges, which draws extensively on work in psychology, downgrades the divide between fiction and non-fiction andlargely dispenses with the imagination. In the process, he casts new light on a succession of issues: on the 'paradox of fiction', on the issue of fictional narrators, on the problem of 'imaginative resistance', and on the nature of our engagement with film.

Range of children's fiction and non fiction books, KS1, KS2

I am an ex teacher and have several boxes of children's fiction and non fiction books for sale. There are a few sets of books suitable for group reading and also many single books by authors such as David Walliams, Roald Dahl, Michael Morpurgo. Books were used for KS2 and KS3 pupils who had special educational needs but there is a real range from early phonics right through to classic texts such as Treasure Island and War of The Worlds. Each single book will cost £1 and there will be significant savings if you buy several books or a set. Happy for you to come and have a look and see what interests you. Would be suitable for either a teacher, tutor or parents wanting to increasing reading books at home.
