Monroe College-New Rochelle

Subject:

Description:

3 credits Autobiographical works have had a loyal following for centuries, but their form, content, authorship, and readership have changed. Autobiography crosses class, age, gender, race, and cultural lines. What prompts one to keep a diary or journal? Is it self-discovery, a way to promote self-healing, or a desire to transmit knowledge to others? Through the genre of autobiography, it is possible to explore contemporary issues about oneself and society in satisfying and challenging ways. The course will expose students to some of the world's great literature, validate the importance of self-evaluation, and explore how race, class, gender, and talent relate to the psychology of its composition.
