The Routledge Auto Biography Studies Reader collects together key theoretical essays in the field, creating a solid base for any critical study of autobiography, biography, or life writing.

Attention has also been given to a variety of methodological approaches, such as archival research, genealogical study, DNA testing, autoethnography, testimonio, and oral history, among others.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
