Book Description:

Widely debated in feminist, poststructuralist, and literary theory is the relationship between subjectivity and the body. This book states that yet, autobiographical criticism - an obvious place for testing this conceptual relationship - has lagged behind queries about the embodied self. It analyzes the genre of terminal illness autobiographies.
