Getting a Life: Everyday Uses of Autobiography

Передня обкладинка
Sidonie Smith, Julia Watson
U of Minnesota Press, 1996 - 415 стор.

Papers submitted for the session on the everyday uses of autobiography at the Modern Language Association's convention in 1992 enabled us to connect with scholars around the country.
