Klappentext zu „Stendhal's Paper Mirror “
Stendhal's narrators explicitly put forth an ethos of realism, yet their self-conscious voice calls attention to artifice in fictional texts that readily depict their own elaboration. This study examines the integration of various patterns of self-consciousness into works whose "textual realism" encourages readings that respect the novels as both textual construct and referential illusion. In reflecting their own structures en abyme through various embedded narratives, in thematizing the heroes' and the narrators' self-consciousness, in exalting literariness through patterns of novelistic and theatrical imitation, Stendhal's novels problematize fictional narrative discourse and language itself while affirming their referential appeal to the reader's imagination.

Pressezitat
"...thought provoking and highly readable. It not only illuminates Stendhal's fiction but also contributes decisively to our understanding of the economy and functioning of metafiction." (Gerald Prince)"...a thorough, subtle and sophisticated study of Stendhal's metanarrative strategies. To the best of my knowledge, there is no overall study of metanarrative codes and devices in Stendhal's novels. Thus, James Day's contribution fills a void...should be of interest to specialists not only of Stendhal but of the novel in general." (Lucienne Frappier-Mazur)
"In focusing on Stendhal's novels as self-referential textual constructs, as processes as well as products, he has heoped redresst the balance and has in the process made a significant contribution to our understanding of Stendhalian narration." (Emile J. Talbot, University of Illinois) "Day convincingly underscores the unifying force of closely related literary and psychological self-consciousness and the interaction of fiction and reality in Stendhal's major novels." (L.A.Russell, Choice)
