Overview
- Offers an understanding of a group of texts that have been relatively little subjected to literary analysis
- Examines the forms of composition of the books – their ‘textual strategies’ – in relationship to the original contemporary public response to them in order to see what features of the writing were considered valuable and why, in their original context of reception
- Offers a generalised analysis of the relationship between memoir writing and literary form
Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Life Writing (PSLW)
