The scope of this paper is to extend the
objectives stated for the paper Fiction I. The 19th and 20th
Centuries by virtue of advancement of knowledge in general have contributed
to the denseness of fiction, particularly during the 20th century.
Therefore, this paper focuses its attention first on several technical issues
associated with Fiction per se such as narrative technique, characterization
and space-time treatment and secondly
on the rich cultural, social and political backdrop which contributed to the
diversity of fictional writing.
