With the growing urgency of questions about how to claim identity and achieve authenticity, life-writing started to acquire an unprecedented cultural importance. A range of social and economic developments, from the publishing boom in memoir writing to the rise of the internet, transformed the
possibilities for self-expression. By the end of the timespan covered in this book life-writing was no longer something done mainly by important individuals who wrote their autobiography, or by sensitive souls who kept a diary. It became a truly ubiquitous phenomenon, part and parcel of the everyday
formation of selfhood.

Considering a diverse range of texts from across the English-speaking world, this volume places life-writing in relation to wider debates about the sociology and philosophy of modern identity, and the changing marketplace of publishing and bookselling. Yet in doing so it seeks above all to credit
the extraordinary literary inventiveness which the pursuit of self-knowledge inspired in this period. Major subjects addressed include: the aftermath of World War II, including responses to the Holocaust  the impact of psychoanalysis on biography  autofiction, autrebiography, and changing ideas
about authentic self-knowledge  coming out memoirs and the transformation of sexual identity  feminist exemplary writing and lyric poetry  multilingualism and intercultural life-writing  the memoir boom and the decline of intimacy  testimony narrative and memory culture  posthumanism in theory and
practice  literary biography as an alternative to literary theory  literary celebrity and its consequences for literature  social media and digital life-writing.
