The Conscience of the Autobiographer: Studies in Literature and Religion

Autor J. Barbour
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 aug 1992
This book argues that the writing of autobiography raises crucial issues of conscience as an author tries to know, assess, and represent character. Individual chapters explore such issues as the nature of truthfulness, characterization, the virtues, shame, and the religious dimensions of conscience.
