Although much has been written about Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography, other writers of what Stephen Arch calls "selfbiographies" in postrevolutionary America have received scant scholarly attention. This rich variety of texts dramatically shows the complex nature of 19thcentury concepts of identity. Arguing that "autobiography" is a modern invention, Arch shows its emergence in the older, conservative selfbiographies of Alexander Graydon, Benjamin Rush, and Ethan Allen and in the newer, more progressive, and even radical selfbiographies of K. White, Elizabeth Fisher, Stephen Burroughs, and John Fitch. Describing the evolution of a concept as elastic as "the self" is not easy, but Arch offers a unique and imaginative study of the emergence of a specifically modern American identity.
