In this new critical study, Laura Marcus explores autobiography as
a genre and as an organizing concept in nineteenth and twentieth
century thought. Drawing on a wide range of writings, both literary
and theoretical, she shows how autobiography and biography have
been crucial in debates over subject and object, public and
private, fact and fiction--debates now refigured in feminist
theory. Autobiography has itself been perceived as an unstable and
hybrid genre: it appears either as a dangerous double agent moving
between these oppositions, or as a magical instrument of their
reconciliation. This book explores the significance of the genre in
eugenics and theories of "genius;" the "new biography" of Lytton
Strachey, Virginia Woolf and others; autobiography and historical
consciousness of subjectivity and genre; as well as contemporary
autobiographical writings and feminist theories of
life-writing.
