Description: In Heterocosmica, Lubomir Dolezel offers a complete theory of literary fiction based on the idea of possible worlds. Beginning with a discussion of the extant semantics and pragmatics of fictionality - by Leibniz, Russell, Frege, Searle, Auerbach, and others - he relates them to literature, literary theory, and narratology.
