Abstract
Writers have long been preoccupied with objects, real or imagined - from Aladdin's lamp to Pandora's box to the Pulitzer Prize-winning ekphrastic novel The Goldfinch (Tartt 2013), about the painting of the same name. In the eighteenth century, this preoccupation with objects manifested in a genre called it-narrative, stories that have object (or animal) narrators or are about non-human characters. Writers used animism, a worldview where the material universe possesses a metaphysical essence and nonhuman entities have spirits, as a narrative technique to bring these objects to 'life'.
