Writing Lives in the Eighteenth Century is a collection of essays
on memoir, biography, and autobiography during a formative period
for the genre. The essays revolve around recognized male and female
figures - returning to the Boswell and Burney circle - but present
arguments that dismantle traditional privileging of biographical
modes. The contributors reconsider the processes of hero making in
the beginning phases of a culture of celebrity. Employing the
methodology William Godwin outlined for novelists of taking
material from all sources, experience, report, and the records of
human affairs, each contributor examines within the contexts of
their time and historical traditions the anxieties and imperatives
of the auto/biographer as she or he shapes material into a legacy.
New work on Frances Burney D'Arblay's son, Alexander, as revealed
through letters; on Isabelle de Charriere; on Hester Thrale Piozzi;
and on Alicia LeFanu and Frances Burney's realignment of family
biography extend current conversations about eighteenth century
biography and autobiography.
