Synopsis
Appropriate for undergraduate composition courses, from freshman courses concentrating on personal writing to advanced courses on life writing and/or the essay.
It offers selections that move from writing for oneself (journals and diaries) to writing for an audience (letters); from writing based on personal experience (autobiographies) to writing based on research (biographies). This development culminates in the essay, a form of writing in which personal experience and gained knowledge are shared with a public readership.

From the Back Cover
Life writing involves an in-depth investigation into the nature of self and others that grows out of self-awareness and identification with others. As writers, we must always begin with what we know best-- our own experience of the world--and attempt through words to make that experience meaningful for others.
