AB A frame narrative is usually defined as a narrative in which another narrative is embedded. Obvious as this definition is, it actually renders the notion of frame narrative inoperative as it can be applied to any narrative in which a character tells some story. This article argues that it is virtually impossible to define a frame narrative in strictly formal terms, even though there seems to exist a tacit agreement among literary scholars as to which narratives can andshould be described as framed structures. The case of the frame narrative thus appears to involve a peculiar discrepancy between narrative theory and critical practice.
