Original Wraps. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Not Applicable. First. This is an interesting book for would be writers and students of the memoir, afficionados of Canadian life in the 1940's and 1950's, Newfoundlanders who moved away, feminists, the list goes on. Helen Buss is a professor of English literature whose focus is on the memoir and this book is both her memoir and a sort of participant observation study of the memoirist and the issues that come up in the writing. Her perspective as a young girl observing the decision of Newfoundland to join the Dominion is in itself of strategic importance. Winner of the 1993 Gabriel Roy Prize and 2003 Laura Jamieson Prize awarded by the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, Helen Buss (who also writes as Margaret Clarke when she has her fiction writer's hat on) has some interesting things to say. This copy is in near fine condition save price tag residue on the back cover and the tidy and tiny addition of pencilled brackets and some underlining of the text. As bibliophiles we disapprove of underlining, but the former owner has been so careful in her? handling of the book that it would almost appear unread, and therefore foregiveness comes quite easily.…

Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Repossessing the World: Reading Memoirs by Contemporary Women. Book.

PAP. Condizione: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Why does it seem as if everyone is writing memoirs, and particularly women? The current popularity of memoir verifies the common belief that we each have a story to tell. And we do.especially women. Memoirs are not only representations of women's personal lives but also of their desire to repossess important parts of our culture, in which women's stories have not mattered. Beginning with her own motivations for writing memoirs, Helen M. Buss examines the many kinds of memoir written by contemporary women: memoirs about growing up, memoirs about traumatic events, about relationships, about work. In writing memoirs, these women publicly assert that their lives have mattered. They reshape the memoir, a form as old as the middle ages and as young as today, into a social discourse that blends the personal with the political, the self with the significant other, literature with history, and fiction with autobiography and essay. Buss urges readers to use their reading experience to help themselves understand and write the significance of their own lives. Repossessing the World is the first book-length critical inquiry into women's use of a form that has often been dismissed as less important than autobiography, less professional than the novel, and less intellectual than the formal essay. Buss demonstrates that the memoir makes its own art, not only through selective borrowing from these genres but also through the unique way that the tripartite narrative voice of the memoir constructs the personal and public experience of the memorist as significant to our cultural moment.…
