Abstract: This chapter traces the development of narrative studies from its early stages – classical narratology – to modern branches collectively called postclassical narrative studies. It points out the shortcomings of classical narratology and the merits of postclassical narrative study, especially the contribution of one of the branches, cognitive narrative studies. Then the chapter explores the place of Palmer's theory within the framework of cognitive narrative studies. At the end of the chapter the status of drama in this theory is discussed.
