在中國書法史上，懷素及其〈自敘帖〉，自唐朝中葉起便為書法愛好者所討論，〈自敘帖〉為懷素自述學書經歷和摘錄各方名流對其人其書法讚揚的詩句。〈自敘帖〉以狂草書就，線條細而充滿勁道，面目狂放縱逸，草勢連綿不絕，仍有法有度，深具個人風格及藝術性，是中國文化藝術史上的瑰寶。本論文以「懷素〈自敘帖〉研究—以自我書寫為觀察核心」為題，以「自我書寫」為切入視角重新審視這部書法經典之作。結合文學與藝術分析，觀〈自敘帖〉的文意內容及表現形式，並梳理後世對懷素和〈自敘帖〉的評價及版本流傳，著重討論懷素自敘所使用的「文」與「書」雙重媒介。本文首先爬梳自我書寫歷史，以凸顯〈自敘帖〉在歷來自我書寫作品中特殊的寫作手法與形式，而〈自敘帖〉又以狂草寫成，其釋文各版本略有異見，故辨析隸定草字，並分析文本內容與書法視覺呈現，最後梳理歷代各版本的〈自敘帖〉以及對懷素的評論，指出〈自敘帖〉為懷素所造成的宣傳效果，以呈現〈自敘帖〉在自敘歷史上的獨特價值。
