Course Title:
Research Seminar in Autobiographies and Life Statements
Course Description:
Examines how cultural or political historians often find that autobiographies, diaries, letters, and various other life statements provide one of their richest sources because of their comprehensiveness and detail. Yet these sources also present difficulties because of problems of veracity and because they present a narrative that may in the end run counter to that of the historian. Explores some of the attempts to overcome these problems and to use such sources in a historical narrative. In the second part of the course, students write a research paper, presenting their research sequentially through the course of the term.
