This volume offers seventeen original essays that attest to the
extraordinary inventiveness and range of modernist autobiography.
It examines the ways modernist writers chose to tell their life
stories, with particular attention to forms, venues, modes of
address, and degrees of truthfulness. The essays are grouped around
a set of rubrics that isolate the distinctive character and shared
preoccupations of modernist life-writings: questions of ancestry
and tradition that foreground the modernists' troubled relation to
their immediate familial as well as cultural past; their emergence
as writers whose experiences found expression in untraditional and
singular forms; their sense of themselves as survivors of personal
and historical traumas; and their burdens as self-chroniclers of
loss, especially of self-loss. It will appeal especially to
scholars and students of literary modernism and English literature
more generally.
