Culture of Autobiography - Constructions of Self-Representation

Focusing primarily on the period from the eighteenth-century to the present, this interdisciplinary volume takes a fresh look at the institutions and practices of autobiography and self-portraiture in Europe, the United States and other cultures.

Riassunto

Diverse tendencies in critical and cultural theory have combined to give autobiography a new importance. The essays in this collection address from different vantage points the larger problems posed by the form and the question of its institutional and cultural marginality.
