French Autobiography: Devices and Desires - Sheringham, Michael (Professor of French Literature, Professor of French Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury)

Autobiography has been the subject of growing critical interest in recent years. In the first full-scale study of French autobiography, Michael Sheringham uses close and sensitive readings of sixteen key French autobiographical texts by writers from Rousseau to Sarraute, Stendhal to Perec, to provide a major contribution to the discussion of the genre.
