Publisher Description

British Autobiographies: An Annotated Bibliography of British Autobiographies Published or Written Before 1951, compiled by William Matthews, is an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in personal narratives. Spanning four centuries, this extensive bibliography catalogs a wide range of autobiographical works, capturing the voices of individuals from all walks of life. From statesmen and soldiers to artists, explorers, and even everyday people, these entries offer a window into the diverse experiences that shaped British history and culture. Matthews and his team meticulously gathered these works from major libraries across the United States, the United Kingdom, and other locations, ensuring a comprehensive collection that sheds light on both famous and lesser-known autobiographical voices.

This bibliography is not only a valuable tool for literary scholars studying the evolution of autobiographical writing but also for historians, psychologists, and social scientists interested in understanding personal accounts of significant historical events and societal shifts. Matthews' work opens up new possibilities for exploring the autobiographical genre as a reflection of both individual lives and broader cultural trends. With its rich diversity of subjects and detailed annotations, British Autobiographies serves as a vital reference for anyone researching the personal dimensions of British history.
