The Cambridge Companion to Autobiography offers a historical
overview of the genre from the foundational works of Augustine,
Montaigne, and Rousseau through the great autobiographies of the
Romantic, Victorian, and modern eras. Seventeen essays from
distinguished scholars and critics explore the diverse forms,
audiences, styles, and motives of life writings traditionally
classified under the rubric of autobiography. Chapters are arranged
in chronological order and are grouped to reflect changing views of
the psychological status, representative character, and moral
authority of the autobiographical text. The volume closes with a
group portrait of late-modernist and contemporary autobiographies
that, by blurring the dividing line between fiction and
non-fiction, expand our understanding of the genre. Accessibly
written and comprehensive in scope, the volume will appeal
especially to students and teachers of non-fiction narrative,
creative writing, and literature more broadly.
