520 1 $a"The ethical dimension of autobiography is emerging as an important area of study. Scholars now recognize that an autobiography may represent not so much the literal truth as the author's perception of people and events, a perspective sometimes unflattering to those portrayed." "This volume analyzes the works of four writers who spent much of their youth in working class circumstances yet became highly educated professionals. It examines how the authors confront their past and how they represent working class family members. Each work recounts the author's struggle with a particular societal element such as gender, race, class division or region. An overview of trends in working class autobiography and a brief survey regarding the critical reception of each work is included."--BOOK JACKET.
