- Description
- Discusses the narrative frame of H. G. Wells's "The Time Machine" as part of the "story-within-story narrative model" epitomized by CT, describing features of Chaucer's frame-narrative and arguing that Wells's presentation is unique in that the embedded audience disbelieves the narrator, who must recurrently insist on their attention and belief.
