SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Taking into account the popularity and variety of the genre, this collaborative volume considers a wide range of English Romantic autobiographical writers and modes, including working-class autobiography, the familiar essay, and the staged presence. Major writers such as William Wordsworth, De Quincey, and Mary Shelley, and recent additions to the canon such as Mary Robinson, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Mary Hays are treated in this exploratory mapping of the field.
