Abstract:
The introduction to this thesis makes clear the need for a reconsideration of Roth's
representation of self-identity through an examination of how selfhood and self identity
are represented and experienced through narrative. The introduction defines
several of the key terms through which this thesis operates and explains how its
methodology privileges a reading of Roth that is character-orientated, taking its
understanding of a character's narrativised experience from the theories of Paul John
Eakin, whose theories of autobiography and self-identity are drawn upon where
appropriate throughout the thesis.
