Autobiography
An autobiography, sometimes informally called an autobio, is a self-written account of one's own life, providing a personal narrative that reflects on the author's experiences, memories, and insights. This genre allows individuals to share their unique perspectives and stories, offering readers a glimpse into the author's personal journey and the historical or cultural context in which they lived. The term "autobiography" was first used in 1797, but the practice of writing about one's life dates back to antiquity. Early examples include Saint Augustine's '' Confessions'' (), which is considered one of the first Western autobiographies. Unlike biographies, which are written by someone else, autobiographies are based on the author's memory and personal interpretation of events, making them inherently subjective. This subjectivity can sometimes lead to inaccuracies or embellishments, as the author may recall events differently or choose to present them in a certain light. Autobi ...

John Cowper Powys's Autobiography
John Cowper Powys's (1872–1963) ''Autobiography'', published in 1934, the year Powys returned to Britain from America, describes his first 60 years, and is considered one of his most important works. Overview Writer J. B. Priestley comments: "Even if Powys had never written any novels – and at least one of them, ''A Glastonbury Romance'' is a masterpiece – this one book alone would have proved him to be a writer of genius." While he sets out to be frank about himself, and especially his sexual peculiarities and perversions, he largely excludes any substantial discussion of the women in his life. It has become clear that the reason for this is because it was written while he was still married to Margaret Lyon though he was living in a permanent relationship with the American Phyllis Playter. Morine Krissdotir, in ''The Life of Powys'', describes the first chapter of the ''Autobiography'' as "one of the most complex and beautifully sustained pieces of prose about early chi ...
