Introduction

Ann Banfield, is a professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Berkeley.
Banfield has taught at Berkeley since 1975 and is a specialist in linguistics, critical theory and the use of philosophy as a cornerstone of modernism. In the field of narratology, Banfield has been given lasting credit for her concepts of narratorless subjectivity and addresseelessness in narration. Unlike linguists who apply linguistics to literature, Banfield has the sensitivity of a literary critic who has mastered linguistics.
