DESCRIPTION
The unit focuses on twentieth-century autobiographical writing and explores the way in which writers use, extend and subvert autobiographical conventions. Students are introduced to a variety of writing, from canonical autobiography to less well-known women's, black and postcolonial autobiographical work. Each type of writing has generated its own body of criticism and textual genealogy and although we will not be looking at pre-twentieth-century work in detail, we will explore the histories and cultural contexts of a wide range of autobiographical texts.
