Autobiographical Writing Across the Disciplines

"This anthology of autobiographical writing by scholars with a range of ties to the academy, this mosaic of brave, graceful, and compassionate voices, skillfully edited by Diane P. Freedman and Olivia Frey, bears testimony to the strength of an intellectual movement that is changing the way scholarship is being done. . . . [T]his book asserts the importance of a common project, a shared commitment to a way of knowing as well as a way of telling."--Ruth Behar, from the foreword

Diane P. Freedman and Olivia Frey, eds.

"[A]n exciting, important, and well-edited collection of essays... The book is a pleasure to read; the selections are gracefully written and provide good models for how to incorporate autobiographical elements into scholarship... I highly recommend Autobiographical Writing; it is an insightful and inspiring volume that belongs on the bookshelves of any scholar, student, or interested reader who has ever pondered the connection between the autobiographical and the academic, in other words, the connection between who we are and what we study."--Gesa E. Kirsch, NWSA Journal
