Abstract
This chapter achieves two objectives. The first is to introduce the reader to the research. The theory behind the biographical method is summarised, describing what is expected when conducting a biographical interview; moving on to consider what actually happened during the interviews conducted for this book. The second objective considers some of the big issues Edwards faced in working with the autobiographical interview. The chapter draws attention to the difficulty there is in interpreting, analysing and presenting memory. ‘A Methodology of Remembering: The self who was, the self who is and the self who narrates’ concludes with a critique and detailed approach to how memories as told could be interpreted and analysed.
