Literary and Linguistic Approaches to Feminist Narratology

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.
