'A box of delights: structured around case-studies from Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, this ambitious book succeeds in interweaving insights from a broad range of approaches to narrative analysis in a multi-faceted approach, whilst retaining coherence and lucidity of method and argument throughout. A much-needed, systematic and rigorous account of how stories are shared on social media as multimodal and multi-authored discourse activities, which deserves to be shared widely!' Alexandra Georgakopoulou-Nunes, King's College London 'An original piece of cutting-edge research in narrative and social media. It presents an innovative combination of methods applied to engaging case studies of shared stories in online contexts, thus developing our understanding of a new and complex narrative genre. A significant contribution to mediated narrative analysis, pushing forward the frontiers of the field. Multifaceted and stimulating. Share this story!' Nina Nørgaard, University of Southern Denmark
