Abstract
This chapter analyses Simone de Beauvoir’s representation of temporality across the range of her writing, with particular emphasis on her four volumes of autobiography published in France from 1958–72. It traces Beauvoir’s adaptation of some of Husserl ‘s notions of temporality from his lectures Zur Phanomenologie des inneren Zeitbewusstseins (1893–1917) and refers briefly to the influence of Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty on Beauvoir’s representation of the experience of temporality. It argues that in her view the collaboration of author and reader is crucial for recreating the lost self of autobiography.
