Encyclopedia of Life Writing: Autobiographical and Biographical Forms is the first substantial reference work to study the various auto/biographical forms that constitute "life writing".As this interdisciplinary and broadly inclusive term suggests,the Encyclopedia explores not only autobiography and biography proper,but also letters,diaries,memoirs,family histories and other ways in which individual lives have been recorded and structured.It includes entries on genres and sub-genres,national and regional traditions from around the world,and important auto/biographical writers,works,as well as articles.It provides a practical,comprehensive and frontier survey of this rapidly expanding field of interest.
