Talk:Autobiography

"Compare and contrast"

You could probably improve on this, Gentle Reader:

For example, the autobiography of an American Civil War general might include sections on the nature of slavery, the origins of the Civil War, and the political career of Abraham Lincoln. But the memoir of a Civil War general would focus on his personal reasons for joining the battle, the effect of the war on his mind and soul, and the joy and fear he felt on the battlefield.

A quick characterization of a particular autobiography and a particular memoir, and the contrast between them would be much better here. Give it a try. --Wetman 19:19, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

apologia

apologia should point to an article about apologies not the disamb page. can someone create it/find it?\

List of autobiographies

In tidying up the article I have removed the section 'notable autobiographies' to a new article List of autobiographies, for two reasons:

• 1) General WP articles should not contain long, distracting, lists (see WP:Lists)
• 2) There is no way of defining 'notable' - better therefore to have a separate NPOVcomprehensive list, to avoid pointless argument.

Early autobiographies

This section implies that autobiographies started with Babur, which is not NPOV. Earlier works can be considered as much autobiographical as his diary.I´m going to fix that --Knight1993 (talk) 18:13, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

The statement "...first Western autobiography ever written" should be toned down. Something like "it is the oldest Western autobiography known to date"184.180.43.142 (talk) 13:52, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Posting message here too for neutrality sake

Thanks and greetings
