'T"'he potential importance of pre-narrative and narrative beginnings, ~ or "incipits" in the signifying process has been underlined by a number of writers and critics. Louis Aragon, for example, held that a text was in large measure determined by its first sentence.1 Harry Levin affirms the close relationship of title and text, describing this relationship as "synecdochic" in nature. The similarity of the operations of an incipit to those of the "construction en abyme" has been signalled by Raymond Jean and by Jean Ricardou, for whom "le debut d'un livre agence souvent un raccourci de son fonctionnement."4 These comments challenge the more traditional view of the incipits as subordinate to and simply illustrative of the signifying processes presented in the macro-text. A "generative" approach on the other hand confers upon these opening fragments title, epigraph, chapter title, initial sentence a principal role in the production of textual meaning.
