The «I» And The Author In Modern French Autobiography Marguerite Duras And Annie Ernaux

Abstract

The emergence of the individual has for some time now dominated the field in France. This is especially visible when it comes to autobiographical writing. Marguerite Duras’s and Annie Ernaux’s works address the focus on the individual and the relationship between the «I» and the author in general, and also hold various clues to the importance of autobiographical writing to their lives and personalities. Especially relevant in the examination of the individual in their writing are the multiple layers of self-consciousness
