Abstract The authors describe and tell illustrative stories about the potential and limits of narrative for the purpose of inquiry in English education. They argue that narrative inquiry is uniquely suited to the questions educators are asking in the field today. This book introduces readers to narrative scholars who engage in philosophical and methodological discussions and it describes how narrative works in relation to the telling of a story or stories. --from publisher description
