Taking into account the popularity and variety of the genre, this collaborative volume considers a wide range of English Romantic autobiographical writers and modes, including working-class autobiography, the familiar essay, and the staged presence. Major writers such as William Wordsworth, De Quincey, Mary Shelley, and Byron and recent additions to the canon such as Dorothy Wordsworth, Mary Hays, and John Clare are treated in this exploratory mapping of the field.
