autobiography
An autobiography (from the Greek, αὐτός-''autos'' self + βίος-''bios'' life + γράφειν-''graphein'' to write) is a written account of the life of a person written by that person. In other words, it is the story that a person wrote about themselves.
==Origin of the term==
The word "autobiography" was first used deprecatingly by William Taylor in 1797 in the English periodical the ''Monthly Review'', when he suggested the word as a hybrid, but condemned it as "pedantic". However, its next recorded use was in its present sense, by Robert Southey in 1809.〔Oxford English Dictionary, ''Autobiography''〕 Nonetheless, autobiography as a form goes back to Antiquity. Biographers generally rely on a wide variety of documents and viewpoints, whereas autobiography may be based entirely on the writer's memory. Closely associated with autobiography (and sometimes hard to distinguish from it) is the memoir form.
