Autobiographical Subject Gender and Ideology in Eighteenth-Century England

Eighteenth-century England witnessed a convergence of three phenomena that link together genre, class, and gender: the conceptualization of 'autobiography' as a recognizable set of practices, distinct from other kinds of writing; the use of autobiography as a technology of the middle-class self; and the assertion of a female identity in public print. It is the intersection of these practices in the autobiographical subject that is the focus of this book.Nussbaum, Felicity A. is the author of 'Autobiographical Subject Gender and Ideology in Eighteenth-Century England' with ISBN 9780801852374 and ISBN 0801852374.
