Bøker av Kate Douglas

This book considers the largely under-recognised contribution that young writers have made to life writing genres such as memoir, letter writing and diaries, as well as their innovative use of independent and social media.

The late 1990s and early 2000s witnessed a surge in the publication and popularity of autobiographical writings about childhood. Linking literary and cultural studies, Drawing on trauma and memory studies and theories of authorship and readership, this title offers commentary on the triumphs, trials, and tribulations that have shaped this genre.
