Críticas:

The strength of this collection lies in a number of fine essays -- including one written by Diamond herself -- on issues connected to ethics and confession in the areas of pedagogy and public life. ... The better essays in Diamond's collection go a long way towards telling the rest of us how important the study of rhetoric is to the development of criticism and theory about life narratives of many kinds. * Biography *

Reseña del editor:

Compelling Confessions is a collection of essays whose shared purpose is to offer an accessible interdisciplinary exploration of the social dynamics behind confessional discourse. As the contributors to this volume demonstrate, confession is ubiquitous in contemporary culture, not only within psychological or therapeutic frameworks or literary analysis, but also in internet discussion groups, in the criminal justice system, in political rhetoric, in so-called "reality" and interview-style television programming, in writing pedagogy and, increasingly, in the testimonial strain observable in contemporary scholarship.
