"Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the
present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature
and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or
issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the
autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary
history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where
the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation
of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity
and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs,
diaries, self-portraits, autofiction as well as medial transformations of the genre,
this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches,
systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary
perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition,
special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures
and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions
are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses
scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers"
