Abstract	Autobiographies are among the bestselling books in Britain; and beside the book format; other forms of autobiographical expression such as blogging and vlogging flourish; too. As a response to this 'autobiography boom' since the late 20th century; the study of life writing has developed into a vibrant field of research. Although there have been many British contributions to the field; a collection that assembles critical views on the variety of contemporary British autobiographical writing has still been missing. This volume cannot close this gap and provide a comprehensive overview on recent British autobiography but brings together exemplary studies of different media; forms and issues of British autobiographical writing; testifying to the creativity and diversity of both autobiographical texts and analytical angles. Contributions focus predominantly on non-canonical texts; including some of the most popular contemporary autobiographical genres; such as graphic memoirs; fan autobiographies; disability memoirs; or blogs; addressing; for example; questions of genre; ethics and identity as well as ideas for teaching.
