ABSTRACT
Autobiographical rextualiry elaborates the autobiographical features (or meanings) of a text. It characterizes the respects in which a particular text develops autobiographical concerns. These concerns remain inherent in the text although they are not necessarily its central themes, issues, or foci of discussion. The elucidation of its autobiographical aspects informs about the function and features of the autobiographical in general. Thus an understanding of the autobiographical textuality of a text contributes to knowledge about the particular text and what constitutes the autobiographical per se.
