This innovative volume establishes autofiction as a new and dynamic area of theoretical
research in English. Since the term was coined by Serge Doubrovsky, autofiction has
become established as a recognizable genre within the French literary pantheon. Yet
unlike other areas of French theory, English-language discussion of autofiction has
been relatively limited - until now. Starting out by exploring the characteristic
features and definitions of autofiction from a conceptual standpoint, the collection
identifies a number of cultural, historical and theoretical contexts in which the
emergence of autofiction in English can be understood. In the process, it identifies
what is new and distinctive about Anglophone forms of autofiction when compared to
its French equivalents. These include a preoccupation with the conditions of authorship;
writing after trauma; and a heightened degree of authorial self-reflexivity beyond
that typically associated with postmodernism. By concluding that there is such a field
as autofiction in English, it provides for the first time detailed analysis of the
major works in that field and a concise historical overview of its emergence. It thus
opens up new avenues in life writing and authorship research
