The Unconventional Narrator E. M. Forster’s Howards End is a tale told by a third person omniscient narrator‚ most of the time.

Araby James Joyce’s prose Araby in Dubliners is a story written with a nameless first-person narrator. It is about the narrator’s life on Northern Richmond Street and his tremendous crush on the sister of his companion‚ Mangan.
