Print type:	BOOK

Description:

Noting that autobiography and biography are moving beyond the domain of literature and gaining importance in fields such as anthropology and sociology, Stanley (sociology, U. of Manchester, England) constructs a feminist theory of lifewriting that grapples with subject, author, reader, and the cultural political milieu in which they merge. Her approach is reflected in discussions of her auto/biographical projects concerning Hannah Cullwick and Arthur Munby; Edith Lees Ellis; Olive Schreiner. Acidic paper. Distributed by St. Martin's.
