	SPENGEMANN, WILLIAM C. The Forms of Autobiography New Haven & London, Yale University Press. 1980, First Edition. (ISBN: 0300024738) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Dark red cloth, gilt-stamped lettering on spine, xviii, 254pp, bibliographic essay, index. Generally sharp, square copy, but with a small thumbnail-sized dampstain on endpapers at spine bottom, faintly dusty appearing top edges; quite crisp, clean - no odor. Dust jacket has a bit of colorchipping on edges, small closed tear on front panel top edge, a small area of damp bends, color stains on back; generally appears quite clean & crisp. This compact and clearly written volume contains two historical studies. The first, and longer, presents and illustrates a thesis about the evolution of autobiography as a literary form, beginning with a study of St. Augustine's Confessions. The second, which is primarily bibliographical, gives a comprehensive review of the study of autobiography. Beginning students will find the volume accessible; scholars will find its thesis provocative, its textual renderings worth arguing, and its bibliography indispensable. There is a careful index, covering select topics and all names, including those in the bibliography. The author asserts that in autobiography, "self-revelation is in fact self-creation" and the autobiography is not just a manifestation of the self but its very embodiment. As the self becomes identified with the autobiography, moreover, the autobiography becomes the subject of its own allegory; the autobiography becomes a work about itself. Good Plus/Good Plus.
