A person's own biography, or written account
of his or her life, distinguished from the
journal or diary by being a connected
narrative, and from memoirs by dealing less
with contemporary events and personalities.
The Boke of Margery Kempe c. 1432-36 is the
oldest extant autobiography in English.
A form of autobiography is the confession,
which is concerned with the inner spiritual
life, for example, the Confessions of St
Augustine.
