Abstract

How does the historian’s personal experience of history interact with his or her professional choices? This is the question the article reflects on by assessing the methodical reach of a new autobiographical genre to which eminent personalities of the historical profession have contributed in recent years. Some of the authors hope that their writing may help to forge new paradigms of subjectivity in history. The authors own biography is the test case.
