Description This article deals with the narrative approach in scholarship. Narrative research had seldom been seen as explanatory, but rather descriptive and in general had an emancipatory aim in the sense that absent or marginalised ‘stories’ were foregrounded. According to Hyvärinen (2006:2011) there had been not one but four ‘narrative turns’ since 1960: in narratology, historiography, methodology and in the social sciences. This article falls in the ambit of a narrative methodology by its personal approach, use of a case study and by its focus on a neglected aspect of the oeuvre of T.T. Cloete. Siegfried Schmidt, in Hjort (1992:225–249), discerned four ‘roles’ within the Literary System, that of literary production, dissemination, reception and literary processing. According to this definition T.T. Cloete, the well-known author and critic, played all of these roles. In the first part of the article the focus was mainly on Cloete as the writer of columns, anthologist, creative writer and literary critic. In die eerste gedeelte van hierdie artikel in twee dele word gefokus op die narratiewe benadering in die wetenskap. Narratiewe navorsing is selde verklarend, maar eerder beskrywend en het ’n sogenaamde emansiperende inslag deurdat dit fokus op vergete of gemarginaliseerde verhale. Volgens Hyvärinen (2006:2011) was daar nie net sprake van een nie, maar vier ‘narrative turns’ sedert 1960: in die narratologie, historiografie, die metodologie en die sosiale wetenskappe. Hierdie benadering staan voorop in die onderhawige artikel deur die persoonlike aanpak, die gebruik van ’n gevallestudie en deur die fokus op ’n vergete of gemarginaliseeerde aspek van die oeuvre van T.T. Cloete. Die bekende literatuurwetenskaplike en digter T.T. Cloete het volgens Siegfried Schmidt (1992) se definisie al vier rolle wat hy onderskei binne die literêre sisteem (dié van literêre produksie, verspreiding, resepsie en literêre verwerking) vertolk. In hierdie eerste gedeelte van die artikel word veral gekyk na Cloete se rol as rubriekskrywer, bloemleser, skeppende skrywer en literêre kritikus.
