This overview essay on the implementation of narratology on reading and interpreting lyric poetry presents the main principles of the so-called lyricology, which is based on the thesis that narrative structures, such as the presence of agency, mediation and sequencing (the ordering of plot sequences), can also be observed in lyric poetry. This line of research has been followed by scholars at German universities, but has also found its way into the English-speaking academic world. The paper defines narratological concepts which are readily applicable to lyric poetry, such as focalisation, event, narrative reliability, and hierarchical stratification of the narrator (biographical author – abstract/implicit author – narrator/speaker – protagonist/character in the plot). The essay presents narratological analysis of lyric poetry as an innovative approach to the reading of lyric poetry, but also highlights the potential pitfalls of this approach and outlines appropriateness of its use.
