«Lehman’s book is timely and fills a gap, and it will be a welcome complement to the small body of literature in the area of authorial self-representation in academic texts. For any scholar seeking to better understand the provenance and development of L2 writers’ authorial voice, the book is necessary reading.»(Simon Williams, Journal of Second Language Writing 42/2018)
