Know about the book -

Private Voices, Public Lives is written by Nancy Owen Nelson and published by University of North Texas Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0929398882 (ISBN 10) and 9780929398884 (ISBN 13).

Interweaving the personal, private voice with scholarly, public intent, Nelson and the other contributors argue for a more interactive and cooperative approach to the teaching, reading, critiquing, and writing of literature. These essays are a direct result of the desire by many women within the academic community to break free of what has been called the “masculine” or “adversary” mode of literary criticism. Private Voices, Public Lives is of critical importance to readers, teachers, reviewers, and critics. The essays incorporate ideas on current issues of autobiography, memoir, women's voice, reader response, diversity, life writing, and gender.
