Der Band untersucht in praxeologischer und philologischer Perspektive Auftritte und Gerede, Schriftsprache und Mündlichkeitseffekte, vor allem aber all das, was diese Phänomene literarisch untrennbar miteinander verbindet. Die Beiträge fragen nach den Verfahren, mit denen gegenwartsliterarische Texte verschiedener medialer Träger Effekte des Mündlichen oder Schriftlichen erzeugen. Sie nehmen zudem jene Praktiken des Mündlichen und deren Verhältnis zum Schriftlichen in den Blick, die die akustisch-performative Prägung des literarischen Feldes nahelegt. Es zeigt sich, dass die Texte die Differenz zwischen Schriftlichkeit und Mündlichkeit zur Disposition stellen, produktiv machen und poetologisch einholen.

Since the early 1990s, tens of thousands of memoirs by celebrities and unknown people have been published, sold, and read by millions of American readers. The memoir boom, as the explosion of memoirs on the market has come to be called, has been welcomed, vilified, and dismissed in the popular press. But is there really a boom in memoir production in the United States? If so, what is causing it? Are memoirs all written by narcissistic hacks for an unthinking public, or do they indicate a growing need to understand world events through personal experiences? This study seeks to answer these questions by examining memoir as an industrial product like other products, something that publishers and booksellers help to create. These popular texts become part of mass culture, where they are connected to public events. The genre of memoir, and even genre itself, ceases to be an empty classification category and becomes part of social action and consumer culture at the same time. From James Frey’s controversial A Million Little Pieces to memoirs about bartending, Iran, the liberation of Dachau, computer hacking, and the impact of 9/11, this book argues that the memoir boom is more than a publishing trend. It is becoming the way American readers try to understand major events in terms of individual experiences. The memoir boom is one of the ways that citizenship as a category of belonging between private and public spheres is now articulated.

When first published in 1977, 'A Literature of Their Own' quickly set the stage for the creative explosion of feminist literary studies that transformed the field in the 1980s. Launching a major new area for literary investigation, the book uncovered the long but neglected tradition of women writers in England. A classic of feminist criticism, its impact continues to be felt today.This revised and expanded edition contains a new introductory chapter surveying the book's reception and a new postscript chapter celebrating the legacy of feminism and feminist criticism in the efflorescence of contemporary British fiction by women.
