Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze different types of narrator in excerpts from literary texts by Scottish authors Irvine Welsh and James Kelman. These authors are highly acclaimed writers from the so-called Scottish Renaissance and their works of fiction, in general, raise the discussion about the narrator. We will base our study on the insights from narratology theorists who investigated the problem of the narrator/focalizes, such as Gérard Genette and his innovative Discours Du Récit and so on.
