In this fascinating new study Trev Broughton takes an in-depth look at the developments within Victorian auto/biography, and asks what we can learn about the conditions and limits of male literary authority. She focuses on two case studies from the period 1880-1903,* the auto/biographical theories and achievements of Sir Leslie Stephen, one of the century's most revered exponents of the written life.
* the debate surrounding James Anthony Froude's account of the marriage of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle
The author looks at the proliferation of professions with a vested interest in the 'written life'; the speeding-up and institutionalisation of the Life-and-Letters industry; the consequent spread of a network of mainly male practitioners and commentators. She argues that these elements all contributed to a new 'auto/biographical' subjectivity.
Men of Letters, Writing Lives will be of great interest to students and scholars of literature, cultural history, gender and auto/biography.
