Description

Explore the fundamental questions of literary self-expression with Design and Truth in Autobiography. This Routledge Library Edition presents a deep study into the art of the autobiography, examining how the genre evolved from its origins into the popular form recognized today. Originally published in 1960, this work treats autobiography as a major form of literary expression that requires serious academic examination. The text provides a clear definition of the genre and tracks its historical development through the ages. Readers will find detailed analysis regarding the concept of truth within personal narratives and the specific types of self-knowledge these writings seek to uncover. Whether you are a student of philosophy, a literary scholar, or a reader interested in the history of biography, this book offers a structured look at why people write about themselves and why these stories remain so influential. It is an essential resource for understanding the motivations and methods behind one of literature's most characteristic forms.
