But Tudor Autobiography investigates eleven sixteenth-century English writers who used sermons, a saint's biography, courtly and popular verse, a traveler's report, a history book, a husbandry book, and a supposedly fictional adventure novel to share the secrets of the heart and tell their life stories. In the past such texts have not been called autobiographies because they do not reveal much of the inwardness of their subject, a requisite of most modern autobiographies. But, according to Meredith Anne Skura, writers reveal themselves not only by what they say but by how they say it. Borrowing methods from affective linguistics, narratology, and psychoanalysis, Skura shows that a writer's thoughts and feelings can be traced in his or her language. Rejecting the search for "the early modern self" in life writing, Tudor Autobiography instead asks what authors said about themselves, who wrote about themselves, how, and why. The result is a fascinating glimpse into a range of lived and imagined experience that challenges assumptions about life and autobiography in the early modern period. 606 $aAuthors, English$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish prose literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAutobiography 606 $aSelf in literature 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aBiography as a literary form 610 $aautobiography, england, literature, life writing, genre, tudor, 16th century, sermons, saint, biography, memoir, poetry, verse, travel narrative, history, chronicle, husbandry book, adventure, novels, identity, psychoanalysis, linguistics, narratology, psychology, literary form, inwardness, thomas wyatt, nonfiction, john skelton, robert greene, george gascoigne, isabella whitney, hugh plat, revision, adaptation, tusser, whythorne, william baldwin, st paul, bale, vocation. 615 0$aAuthors, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAutobiography. 615 0$aSelf in literature. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aBiography as a literary form. 676 $a820.9/353 700 $aSkura$b Meredith Anne$f1944-$01615321 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814321503321 996 $aTudor autobiography$93945460 997 $aUNINA
