WISCONSIN STUDIES IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
William L. Andrews, General Editor

During recent decades, the study of autobiography has come increasingly to the forefront of literary, cultural, and historical scholarship. In addition to its long-recognized value as a social and cultural document, autobiography now claims our attention as an index to the ways in which people conceive of and recreate history itself. Autobiography has become one of the chief challengers to standard notions of the literary canon. This series promotes the growth of autobiography studies in and across a variety of humanistic disciplines by publishing original work that employs a wide range of critical approaches to and definitions of first-person writing. In addition to original scholarly work, the series includes editions of primary texts that make a significant contribution to the tradition of autobiographical writing.
