Looking for a Good Argument: Argument and the Novel
This chapter is about the role of argument in novels. It suggests that every genuine novel implicitly argues its relation to the world and that the debate in the text is only one of several narrative devices at the writer's disposal. It traces the origins of argument in literature to the Greeks and argues that it will never cease as long as people continue to think.
Keywords: argument, novels, debate, narrative devices, argument in literature
