520    "This book offers a survey of the constitution of the 
       French memoir tradition, and explores in detail the works 
       of four representative authors: Philippe de Commynes, 
       Louise de Savoie, Philippe de Cheverny, and François de 
       Bassompierre. Works of self-writing were usually printed 
       under the title of "memoirs" and have been often 
       considered a uniform genre. These early forms of self-
       writing were in fact highly heterogenous works at the 
       crossroads of multiple genres, from the account book to 
       the astrological diary. Their writing, printing, and 
       circulation challenge modern notions of autobiographical 
       genres: their authorship is often questionable and 
       collective, and they tended to be compiled in large 
       collections for political ends, without regard to the 
       authors' intention"--|cProvided by publisher.
