It includes the conventional genres of autobiography, journals, memoirs, letters, testimonies, and metafiction, and in earlier definitions it included biography. It is a way of seeing literary and other texts that neither objectifies nor subjectifies the nature of a particular cultural truth.Marlene Kadar has brought together an interdisciplinary and comparative collection of critical and theoretical essays by diverse Canadian scholars, most of whom are women engaged in larger projects in life writing or in archival research. In the more practical pieces the author has discerned a pattern in autobiographical text, or subtext, that has come to revolutionize the life, the critic?s approach, or the discipline itself. In the theoretical pieces, authors make cogent proposals to view a body of literature in a new way, often in order to incorporate feminist visions or humanistic interpretations.The contributors represent a broad range of scholars from disciplines within the humanities and beyond. Collectively they provide an impressive overview of a growing field of scholarship. 410 0$aTheory/culture series. 606 $aAutobiography$xWomen authors 606 $aAutobiographical fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature 606 $aSelf in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAutobiography$xWomen authors. 615 0$aAutobiographical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature. 615 0$aSelf in literature. 676 $a920.72 702 $aKadar$b Marlene$f1950- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455854203321 996 $aEssays on life writing$92471036 997 $aUNINA
