The editors' introduction provides a condensed history of academic writing, highlighting the origins of autobiographical criticism and its role in feminist scholarship. The essays themselves demonstrate how personal lives and scholarly pursuits are intertwined, expanding the boundaries of various disciplines. This collection offers a rich source of reasons for and models of autobiographical criticism.
