and memories, whether one’s own or another’s. It covers biography,
memoir, diaries, letters and personal essays etc., and, more recently,
digital forms such as blogs and email. It can also be linked with
genealogical study when recording one’s life, it is common to become
curious about the lives of others that have affected one over time and,
if they have not recorded their own life, to start doing it for them.
