Ruth Page offers a critical new approach to analyzing the relationships between gender and narrative. She proposes an integrative framework for feminist narratology that draws on literary and linguistic perspectives, illustrated through a range of original studies that interrogate literary texts from different historical periods and expressive traditions, along with a range of non-literary narratives. This approach gives new direction to this important field of narrative analysis, challenging its earlier assumptions in the light of post-modern gender theory.

Industry Reviews

'...this book is an excellent contribution to the debate about post-modern feminims and also provides insightful narrative analyses.' - Sara Mills, Journal of Literary Semantics

'All in all, Page's book is a rich source of theory and practice regarding feminist narratology. It is very well written and easy to read. Literary and Linguistic Approaches to Feminist Narratology will be extremely useful as a reliable source of information for students and scholars in the field of language and gender, besides being of interest for anyone who is curious about narratives. We are presented here with an invaluable publication, and we can but congratulate Page for having undertaken such a task and carried it out with such expertise.' - Hilal Erkazanci, Discourse& Communication
