ABSTRACT
Do historians inscribe their own lives in their narratives? Do the threads of their life stories reveal themselves in their work? To varying degrees, I believe they do-both in intellectual and existential ways. Many scholars have already commented on this issue.1 Rather than delineate the contours of this position, or explore its implications, I will review my own scholarship in the history of immunology-two books since 1994 and many articles-to add another case example to this literature.
