Folk Metal and the Narrative
An Introduction to Folk Metal The emergence of Folk Metal as a notable subsidiary of the Heavy Metal genre was almost directly precipitated by the rise and development of the Reconstructionist Neo-pagan movement in Northern Europe, in the late 1980's and 1990's.

Narrative Case
Extract A: This example shows an interesting opinion to which it seems somebody has written an article or column in a magazine or newspaper. The first-person narration is a giveaway of this. Throughout this piece we can see many considerations of emotions and feelings. Where the author describes the 'passion for celebrity', or how he would 'happily confess' with passionate and/or intimate connections between celebrity and shame, he keeps this to a descriptive component only.

Consequently, Du Maurier was made to feel jealous and insecure alike to the nameless narrator in Rebecca. As mentioned, Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice published in 1912,
