Can you identify the 19th century taxonomy of literary plots?
this is not a 19th century book, but may be the right one, since none of the reviewers of this book mention any predecessor from the 19th century. taken from this source: http://zhurnal.net/ww/zw?SevenBasicPlots Also this source: http://denisdutton.com/booker_review.htm The other thing that sounds right, but is not a 19th century work is Northrop Frye’s Conceptual Framework for Literature. http://www.northropfrye.com/english/northrop-frye/frye-quotes.
