- This wide-ranging book results from five years of research, offering an innovative account of Modernist novelists’ autobiography from 1900-1950. It involved sustained research using a group biographical approach, reconstructing the periods when the writers in the book’s seven ‘portraits’ (Conrad, Ford, James, Lewis, Stein, Wells, Wharton) composed their autobiographies and memoirs. It also employed extensive study of primary life-writing sources, including autobiographies, diaries, letters, memoirs, and notebooks, as well as fiction, and new ways of thinking about biography and autobiography, reconsidering ethics; privacy; family; memory; fact and fiction; self-portraiture; and the interrelation between life and work.
