Young writers have historically played a pivotal role in shaping
autobiographical genres and this continues into the graphic and
digital texts which characterise contemporary life writing. This
volume offers a selection of pertinent case studies which
illuminate some of the core themes which have come to characterise
autobiographical writings of childhood, including: cultural and
identity representations and tensions, coming into knowledge and
education, sexuality, prejudice, war, and trauma. The book also
reveals preoccupations with the cultural forms of autobiographical
writings of childhood and youth take, engaging in discussions of
archives, graphic texts, digital forms, testimony, didacticism in
autobiography and the anthologising of life writing. This
collection will open up broader conversations about the scope of
life writing about childhood and youth and the importance of life
writing genres in prompting dialogues about literary cultures and
coming of age. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Prose Studies.
