Von Beda Venerabilis im 8. bis zu Fritz Brupbacher im 20. Jahrhundert: Manner, die uber sich selbst schreiben, werden in diesem Band Gegenstand von Uberlegungen zur historiografischen Perspektivitat.


Who and what is a ‘male writer’? While ‘writing women’ are almost a genre in their own right, represented in popular and scholarly anthologies, ‘male’ writing, which has probably shaped ideas of masculinity more than any other cultural practice, rarely receives historiographical attention. This observation is the starting point for the volume’s reflections on historiographical perspective: Where and how have men written about themselves and about the self in the other? In a series of essays, the volume explores men’s self-documentation and autobiographical writing in relation to gender.
