Boldrini shows that this mode is widely employed to reflect critically on the historical and philosophical understanding of the human; on individual identity; and on the power relationships that define the subject. In such texts, the grammatical first person becomes the site of an encounter, a stage where the relationships between historical, fictional and authorial subjectivities are played out and explored in the 'double I' of author and narrating historical character, of fictional narrator and historical person. Boldrini considers the ethical implications of assuming another's first-person voice, and the fraught issue of authorial responsibility. Constructions of the body are examined in relation to the material evidence of the subject's existence. Texts studied include Malouf's An Imaginary Life, Carey's True History of the Kelly Gang, Ondaatje's The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, Adair's The Death of the Author, Banti's Artemisia, Vázquez Montalbán's Autobiografía del general Franco. Also discussed, among others: Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian, Tabucchi's The Last Three Days of Fernando Pessoa, Giménez-Bartlett's Una habitación ajena (A Room of Someone Else's). 410 0$aRoutledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature 606 $aAutobiographical fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBiographical fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistorical fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBiography as a literary form 606 $aCharacters and characteristics in literature 606 $aLiterature and history 615 0$aAutobiographical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBiographical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistorical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBiography as a literary form. 615 0$aCharacters and characteristics in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history. 676 $a809.3/82 700 $aBoldrini$b Lucia$01090788 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825888303321 996 $aAutobiographies of others$94020442 997 $aUNINA
