Self impression : life-writing, autobiografiction, and the forms of modern literature
"A very important intervention into a number of arenas ... a very welcome contribution to the fields of auto/biographical, late nineteenth-century and modernist studies ... opens up new ways of thinking about life-writing and, in particular, the relationship between autobiography and fiction ... a very rich and rewarding study ... it engages very productively with autobiographical theory ... It is, as a whole, subtle, informed and persuasive.' Laura Marcus, Goldsmith's Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford" "T̀his is a captivating study ... the range of the book is ... breathtaking; it is a work of great scholarship and subtle erudition ... a work of strikingly new perspectives on modernism ... Saunders's work is ambitious in scope, depth and conceptualisation, while the sophistication of his theoretical analyses are couched in a readable style ... It Will make an extremely important and original contribution to the fields of nineteenth-and twentieth-century literary criticism and is a welcome and much needed addition to recent theorisations of life-writing.' Dr Susan Jones, English Fellow, St Hilda's College, University of Oxford."
