Autobiographical Subject - Gender and Ideology in Eighteenth-Century England

Informationen zum Autor Felicity A. Nussbaum is a professor of English at the University of California-Los Angeles, the author of The Limits of the Human (2003), Torrid Zones (1995), and the editor of The Autobiographical Subject (1995), the latter two available from Johns Hopkins. Klappentext Eighteenth-century England witnessed a convergence of three phenomena that link together genre, class, and gender: the conceptualization of 'autobiography' as a recognizable set of practices, distinct from other kinds of writing; the use of autobiography as a technology of the middle-class self; and the assertion of a female identity in public print. It is the intersection of these practices in the autobiographical subject that is the focus of this book.
