The Handbook of Narrative Analysis (Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics) brings together contributions from leading scholars, offering the first comprehensive collection of sociolinguistic scholarship on narrative analysis. Organized thematically, it provides an accessible guide for engaging with narrative without prescribing a rigid analytic framework. The handbook juxtaposes established modes of narrative analysis with innovative new methods, covering the latest advances in the field, including research on social media and small stories. It introduces and exemplifies a practice-based approach to narrative analysis that separates narrative from text, broadening the field beyond the printed page.
