Review Quotes:
"Alterity and Narrative is a good read ... the stories ... are, of course, classics; it is always fun to look at them again and in a new way." -- Journal of Folklore Research
"Roberts is spectacularly well informed and writes with a masterly but engaging style. Her productive integration of identity and culture contributes to narrative theory and cultural history both, and ensures that this book will be read seriously." -- Clifford Christians, coeditor of Communication Ethics and Universal Values
