| Description: | English 310: Studies in Literary Genres: Autobiography, Biography and Memoir. What is the purpose of a given life story, and what are the implications of a writer's choices to omit or to include certain details? When do authors' choices cross the line between truth and deception, or tend too much toward hagiography or slander? This course will examine literary theories of "life writing"-that is, how authors choose to craft an autobiography, biography, or memoir. Our readings will sample widely from the genres of life writing, by or about subjects including Benjamin Franklin, Harriet Jacobs, Henry James, Alison Bechdel, and God. |
