ABSTRACT

This conclusion begins by taking Milner’s often illegible handwriting as a metaphor for her thinking and methods as they relate to her “autobiographical cure.” The difficulties in teasing out, understanding, and organising Milner’s ideas and her work at the site of autobiography have been closely tied to this book’s attempts at giving Milner and her ideas a legibility and coherence that she herself in many ways resists. Nevertheless, engaging with Milner’s work in this book is felt to bring her ideas and unique contributions to life.
