"It’s
high time we have a book like this. Brian Alleyne has managed to
produce the best, clearest, and most comprehensive overview of
narrative theory for social scientists I have yet to see. I wish
I’d had access to a book like this when I was a student. It
would have made my life so much easier. It will surely become the
universally recognised go-to book on the
subject."
- David
Graeber, London School of Economics & Political
Science
"We are invited to
think about the now ubiquitous everyday practices of interpreting
and producing narratives across a range of modalities. The result
is a text that inspires readers to think in new ways about
narratives, invites them to analyse narrative texts available on
the Web and, for those who wish, suggests how best to employ
specialist software."
- Ann Phoenix, Institute of Education,
University of London
