Dear World
Diary writing has changed, changed utterly, in contemporary times. This is the premise of Kylie Cardell’s study of the genre. Although they remain popular, journals of adventure, exploration, and conquest, staples of nineteenth- and twentieth-century travel literature, receive no mention in Dear World. Private diaries of private lives, intended solely for the author’s spiritual benefit in earlier times, such as seventeenth-century Puritans’ “jour…
Boom! Manufacturing Memoir for the Popular Market
The key concepts of Boom! (gotta love that audacious exclamation point!) are efficiently embedded in its explosive title. Rak, a professor of English at the University of Alberta, analyses the outp
Coming to Life
This essay explains the rationale, theoretical and pedagogical, for personal writing courses; incorporates advice to help students understand the genre and to read and write with authority; and demonstrates how an autobiography workshop functions, including writing assignments and workshop dynamics
A Complement of Collaborators
This essay focuses on the genesis, growth, development, editing, and publication process of memoirs in their life context. It demonstrates how the efforts of a full complement of collaborators, from editors to web designers—some conspicuous, others unobtrusive, but all significant—are necessary in bringing an autobiographical work to autonomous existence

Reading Together and Apart
What happens when three feminist literary critics, accustomed to reading and writing separately, get together to work through a difference of opinion? Several times a semester, we met for brown-bag lunches in Veronica's office and, as is inevitable for English professors, the talk turned to what we were reading. Lynn and Veronica, both Americans, were enthusiastic about Canadian Margaret Atwood's latest novels, while Donna, a Canadian, felt that …

Reunion and Reinterpretation
This paper analyzes a process by which a group informally collaborates in the creation of its own biography through influencing the autobiographical recollections of its members. It shows how the post-World War II reunions of the civilian internees of the Japanese camp in Baguio, Philippines function as family reunions do in creating, interpreting, and transmitting the group's collective biography

Popular and Super-Pop Biographies
By defining popular and super-pop biographies as discrete categories, this article identifies key differences between these sub-genres, along such dimensions as choice of subjects, characterization of subjects (including number and characteristics of roles, and aspects of personality), uses and acknowledgments of sources, literary style, and intended audience
Listen! Women Speaking
The importance of what women can tell us is beginning to be recognized by men as well as women, by policymakers as well as investigators, not just of history, but of psychology, economics, literature, and many other fields. Learning about the lives of women can provide an invaluable re-creation of our collective past, and provide meaningful ways to cope with our present and our future. It is necessary for us as students, researchers and writers, …
