| dbo:abstract | Narrative forms have been subject to classification by literary theorists, in particular during the 1950s, a period which has been described metaphorically as the Linnaean period in the study of narrative. Narrative forms include: * Autobiography – a detailed description or account of the storyteller's own life. * Biography – a detailed description or account of someone's life. * Captivity narrative – a story in which the protagonist is captured and describes their experience with the culture of their captors. * Epic – a very long narrative poem, often written about a hero or heroine and their exploits. * Epic poem – a lengthy story of heroic exploits in the form of a poem. * Essay - a short literary composition that reflects the author's outlook or point * Fable – a didactic story, often using animal characters who behave like people. * Fantasy – a story about characters that may not be realistic and about events that could not really happen. * Flash fiction – a fictional work of extreme brevity that still offers character and plot development. * Folk tale – an old story which has been passed down orally and which reveals the customs of a culture. * Historical fiction – stories which take place in real historical settings and which often feature real historical figures and events, but which center on fictional characters or events. * Legend – a story that is based on fact but often includes exaggerations about the hero (e.g. the East African legend of Fumo Liyongo in the coast of Kenya). * Memoir – similar to an autobiography, except that memoirs generally deal with specific events in the life of the author. * Myth – an ancient story often meant to explain the mysteries of life or nature. * News – information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience. * Nonlinear narrative – a story whose plot does not conform to conventional chronology, causality, and/or perspective. * Novel – a long, written narrative, normally in prose, which describes fictional characters and events, usually in the form of a sequential story. * Novella – a written, fictional, prose narrative normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. * Parable – a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. * Play – a story that is told mostly through dialogue and is meant to be performed on stage. * Poem - a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meaning * Quest narrative – a story in which the characters must achieve a goal. This includes some illness narratives. * Realistic fiction – stories which portray fictional characters, settings, and events that could exist in real life. * Screenplay – a story that is told through dialogue and character action that is meant to be performed for a motion picture and exhibited on a screen. * Short story – a brief story that usually focuses on one character and one event. * Tall tale – a humorous story that tells about impossible happenings, exaggerating the hero's accomplishments.
