First Published in 1995. Autobiography is commonly understood in terms of giving readers insight into the private lives of unique individuals, but in recent years the autobiographical project has absorbed a wide variety of social concerns. The contributors to this book explore a range of the uses of autobiography from the nineteenth-century to the present day, and from Africa, USA, the Middle East, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The chapters draw on a number of approaches, including historical and literary methods to represent the autobiography's purpose of establishing communities of interest and social change.
Julia Swindells works in the English Department of Homerton College, Cambridge. Her publications include Victorian Writing and Working Women, The Other Side of Silence, 1985, and What's Left? Women in Culture and the Labour Movement, with Lisa Jardine, 1990.
