This pioneering work traces the personal quest of a number of twentieth-century autobiographers and how they have discovered the truth about themselves and their place in Australian society. The volume offers fresh readings of popular works by Hal Porter, Donald Horne, Patrick White, A.B. Facey, and Sally Morgan, among others, and identifies different types of autobiographical writing within the context of recent sociological and literary theory.
