Who Am I? Autobiography and American Identity.
Kass, Amy A.
College Teaching, v43 n3 p93-99 Sum 1995

This refers to the study of reflective self-presentations of the lives of people especially concerned about social and civic issues, including statesmen, writers, social reformers, public servants, and literary characters.
