About this title

Synopsis

Does the past determine the present or the present determine the past? "Rewriting the Self" is an exploration of the process by which people re-interpret the meaning and significance of past experience. Drawing on the "lifes" of autobiographers such as St Augustine, Helen Keller and Philip Roth, as well as on the combined insights of psychology, philosophy, and literary theory, Mark Freeman aims to shed light on the intricacies and dilemmas of self interpretation in particular and interpretive psychological inquiry more generally.
