Autobiography (Topical Term)

Work cat.: 2003403958: Egodocuments and history, 2002: t.p. (autobiographical writing in its social context since the Middle Ages) introd. (In the early 1950s Jacques Presser invented a new word: "egodocument"; he proposed to use his neologism for diaries, memoirs, personal letters, and other forms of autobiographical writing; the word egodocument was quickly adopted by the public, and is now part of the Dutch language; text in which an author writes about his or her own acts, thoughts, and feelings would be the shortest definition)
