Excerpt:
St. Augustine was the first to perceive the double nature of autobiography, not of that autobiography following the ancient biographical model, but of the modern autobiography, which means introspection and self-creation. His great achievement was the invention of the “self’, carried out by the eulogy to memory in Book X.
