内容説明
The literary self-portrait is a genre struggling with its own identity and its place in the general body of Western literature. Contributors to this particular literary form include St. Augustine, Bacon, Montaigne, Rousseau, Nietzsche, and Barthes; the works, according to author Michel Beaujour, "do not know how to designate themselves". Are they a valid form of written communication or are they a solipsistic exercise of little use to the reading community? Is the self-portrait merely a form of autobiography? Beaujour considers these questions and explores the self-portrait in careful detail, tracing its development from the "Confessions", to the "Essais", to its most recent manifestations in the 20th century.

内容説明
A serious and independent contribution to the literature of autobiography. -- John SturrockFrench StudiesClearly a landmark study. It seems certain to provoke a great deal of productive debate among those concerned with any of the many issues it raises. -- Comparative Literature The literary self-portrait, often considered to be an ill- formed autobiography, is receiving more attention as a result of the current obsession with personal narrative, but little progress has been made toward an understanding of its specific features. With Poetics of the Literary Self-Portrait, Michel Beaujour reveals the hidden ambitions of this genre. From St. Augustine to Montaigne, from Nietzsche to Malraux, Leiris and Barthes, individual self-portraits are analyzed jointly with the enduring cultural matrix from which self-portrayal derives its disconcerting non-narrative structure, and many of its recurrent topics.
