ENGL 40117 - Christian Autobiography

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course examines three major yet very different attempts at Christian autobiography: St Augustine's Confessions, St. Teresa of Avila's Life, and John Henry Newman's Apologia pro vita sua. Throughout, we will attend to three demands: a close reading of the texts themselves, including their narrative and rhetorical structures; an sense of how the self is imagined by the three writers; and an awareness of the authors' religious contexts.
