From the rear cover
Winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Christian Gauss Award for outstanding books in literary scholarship or criticism Memory and Narrative presents an elegant, authoritative account of how life-writing has changed over time to arrive at its present form. James Olney, one of the most distinguished scholars of autobiography, tells the story of an evolving literary form that originated in the autobiographical writings of St. Augustine, underwent profound changes in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's life-writing trilogy and, as Olney explains, found a momentary conclusion in the work of Samuel Beckett.
