| Abstract | "The Routledge Introduction to Canadian Auto/biography explores the exciting world of nonfiction writing about the self, designed to give teachers and students the tools they need to study both canonical and lesser-known works. The volume introduces important texts and contexts for interpreting life narratives, demonstrates the conceptual tools necessary to understand what life narratives are and how they work, and offers case studies of significant texts and issues in Canada, where life writing has played an important role. Not sure what life writing in Canada is, or how to study it? This critical introduction gives you everything you need to understand the practice and interpretation of auto/biography, from critical terms to an overview of important developments and key texts. You will encounter nonfictional writing about individual lives and experiences--including biography, autobiography, letters, diaries, auto/biographical comics and memoirs. The volume includes case studies to help you apply what you learn, and spotlight sections to expand your knowledge of the texts and approaches to studying life writing in Canada. The Routledge Introduction to Canadian Auto/biography provides instructors and students with the contexts and the critical tools to discover the power of life writing, and the skills to study any kind of nonfiction, from Canada and around the world"-- Provided by publisher. |
