Research Interests

Ruth Page’s research interests bring together feminist narratology and the analysis of narratives in digital contexts. Her work is integrative in nature and seeks to open up dialogue between literary-critical and sociolinguistic traditions of narrative research.

She has published essays on postmodern British fiction, news media reports, children’s storytelling, conversational narrative, hypertext fiction, blogs and social networking sites. She is the author of Stories and Social Media (Routledge, 2012), Literary and Linguistic Approaches to Feminist Narratology (Palgrave, 2006), editor of New Perspectives on Narrative and Multimodality (Routledge, 2010) and co-editor of New Narratives: Stories and Storytelling in the Digital Age (University of Nebraska Press, 2011).
