In what follows, then, I want to pursue the question of a contemporary Western transformation of tempo- rality in relation both to the specificity of confession and to the contempo- rary fascination with memory which may be superseding it. The confessional mode: confession and autobiography The confessional mode has been associated with ecclesiastical, judicial, medical and psychological discourses, as well as with literature.
Rather, literary theory has tended to assimilate the confes- sion within the broader category of autobiography. However, while Freeman along with others subsumes confession within the wider category of autobiography, autobiography has often been seen as having its origins in the genre of reli- gious literary confessions. It should be borne in mind though, as Rita Felski has argued, that it was argu- ably the shift from the religious paradigm of sin and redemption to the emphasis, in the eighteenth century, on the ties between bourgeois subjec- tivity, intimacy and emotion that gave confessional autobiography its more recent impetus Felski ; see also Mascuch More generally, autobiography has been subsumed, by others, into the literary mode of confession Frye ; Gilmore ; Kellog and Scholes More broadly, the critical tendency has been to treat autobiography and confession as linked genres neither of which can easily be distinguished from fiction Felski 87; Marcus ; Spengemann More crudely, it is often objected that very few truly autobiographical works have ever been written, and that those texts generally labelled autobiographical are often, in part, fictional Jay 15; Wilson This is even more the case where confession is concerned, since, especially from the s onwards, a flood of confessional novels have vied for popularity with works marketed as autobiographical.
Similarly, W. Spengemann places the confessions of St Augustine and Rousseau unproblematically within the genre of autobiography Spengemann From this position it might appear that insufficient grounds exist either to distinguish confession from autobiography or to establish it as a distinct mode within the genre of autobiography.
More recently, commentators have sought to define the confessional mode more closely, and although E. For example, L. On confession 29 Much criticism of confession, then, approaches it, for good or ill, as a mode of autobiography. Remaining within reflectionism, treatments of confession produced in the s Finney ; Spengemann began to embrace a historical perspective that linked the mode — and autobiog- raphy more generally — with the emergence, in the seventeenth century, of the bourgeois individual Hill ; Stone In the first position — a position exemplified by Renza — autobiography reveals an essential and apparently ahistorical truth concerning subjectivity: autobiog- raphy inevitably undoes itself, since its attempt to inscribe subjective coher- ence paradoxically reveals that coherence as illusory.
Unsurprisingly, there have been many and varied responses to this question.
On the one hand, debates continue regarding the role of literacy itself in initiating that separation between self as narrator and self as subject that lies at the heart of autobiographical self- consciousness. For Jay, the history of auto- biography constitutes a sustained attempt to resolve those contradictions which, he argues, lie at the heart of the autobiographical enterprise.
Confession: history and criticism If confession rather than autobiography becomes the primary object of focus, the dominance of the post-structuralist approach to autobiography begins to appear less certain. The primacy accorded by Foucault to the cultural work performed by confessional discourses points towards a treatment of confession that might address it not only as Freeman has, as an example of autobiographical writing that need not be distin- guished from it, but in its full specificity.
A definitive history of confession has yet to be written and would require more critical attention than has been paid so far to the relations between confession as spiritual and personal spoken practice and as written form. For Brooks this transition heralded the beginnings of the emergence of the inwardness of modern selfhood ibid.
THE JOHNNIE WALKER STORY
Though recent surveys of confession have shifted emphasis from text to practice, and from literary studies to interdisciplinarity, even these studies place literary confessional writings — particularly those of St Augustine and Rousseau — at their epicentres. Within literary studies, several critics have attempted to identify the key characteristics of confession. From the perspective of literary studies, it might at first glance appear that the history of the confession has been indistinguishable from that of autobiography, or even of realist literature in its entirety: indeed, Ian Watt and Elisabeth Wilson Watt: 9—38; Wilson 24—25 amongst others have argued that the realist novel, the confession and autobiography all have their roots in that vast Western transformation of the seventeenth century which produced a capitalist, individualistic and highly privatized society.
Though this literature may have deployed confessional forms, its address was to a community of sympathetic readers. Though autobiography and confession are interwoven, closer studies of the history of confession reveal that a discrete and particular history can be traced. It is generally agreed that the confessional mode first became domi- nant within autobiographical writing during the mid to late nineteenth century.
Moreover, though the revelatory reli- gious truth sought by St Augustine was a truth to be found within, it was a truth that could potentially be found by all, whereas the truth of the self is a truth particular to that self. Speaking of the novel more generally, Dorrit Cohn, for instance, has posited a cyclical or spiral return of the genre to its inward matrix whenever its characters get hyper-active, its world too cluttered. Cohn 9 This is a position that has remained marginal, however, leaving critics rela- tively united concerning the break constituted by the inward turn.
This reference to the confessions of the s foregrounds two further key defining features of the confession to be added to those previously noted. As Dorrit Cohn has argued, the portrayal of the least conscious and most intimate strata of the mind is achieved via the most indi- rect of means Cohn A relationship of absolute identity between the two is unlikely, however, for a temporal distance must separate central protagonist and narrator in order for the narrator to confess earlier activities, thoughts and feelings. The confession, moreover, presents the telling itself as the source of self-transformation: the confession describes and performs the becomingness which constitutes its very heart.
However, in other criticism, becomingness has been particularly associated with the confession. The central protagonist is marked then as identical with himself12 and yet always moving on — in process. Sexuality is a central concern of the contemporary confessional novel — so much so, indeed, that it has led several commentators to argue that the concern with sexuality is one of the key defining features of confession. Much of this criticism suggests that the inclusion of sexual revelations in the confession constituted a break from the literary past, An alternative proposal might suggest, however, that it marked not a new departure but the further development of a tendency Foucault which can be identified within all fictional writing from the mid-eigh- teenth century onwards: namely an increasing stress on emotion, sentiment and latterly sexuality.
He views his condition not with anger, but with deep internal pain; he rejects external rebellion in favour of self-laceration. Finally, on many accounts, the confession is closely associated with the exercise and negotiation of authority. Histories of confession argue that, as this authority became inter- nalized, the confessional quest turned from the seeking of external authority and absolution via the church, to the search first for God within Brooks 96; Lloyd 20 and then for an inner self who might act as guide and internal authority.
The authority of confession can be argued to rest on the truth- status of its confessional claims, claims that are put in question by psycho- analytic and post-structuralist perspectives.

This is a theme that has preoccupied feminist criticism Jardine and postmodern theory. Foucault argues that modern power is exercised through voluntary practices of subjection. By means of the work performed by subjects them- selves in practices such as confession, subjects are rendered governable. Yet all such practices sustain also the possibility of some negotiation of the very authority that they embody. It finds in autobiographical confession reflections of essential human truths Finney 21; Olney 3. Moreover these discussions deploy models of cultural instrumentality ranging from reflectionisms of various kinds to models which grant greater autonomy to confession.
Other critical approaches grant to the confession a degree of autonomy and agency lacking in the reflectionist approach. On this account, confessions are construed not simply as reflections of actuality, but as having actual effects on readers and on subjectivities. Perhaps the most dominant form of such an approach within literary criticism distin- guishes between texts which uphold and those which interrogate the unified subject of classic realism.
This approach is illuminating. In what follows, then, my aim is to discuss treatments of confession which grant to it a degree of cultural agency greater than that of reflectionism. My focus falls on approaches that offer, too, a historically nuanced account of changes within the epoch with which classic realism is most generally associ- ated — an epoch that stretches from the eighteenth century to the very recent past, or even perhaps to the present day.
The irony is that we believe, in making our subjectivity the principle of our personal lives, our ethical systems, and our political evaluations, that we are freely choosing our freedom.
