Publisher's Synopsis
This text presents a thorough examination of the place and use of autobiography in today's educational system. Graham investigates autobiography as a curricular tool that can be used across all grade levels and all types of subject matter, from the perspectives of literary theory, Deweyan philosophy, and curriculum studies. He explains how the study of autobiography can and should be an integral part of the curriculum for its own sake, as well as for its ability to assist students in knowing themselves in their own minds and their own personal histories through literature.
