Hallo Mccaugm
I too love autobiogs, but mostly read about late 1800s folk.
I think I prefer Biogs as I feel the Biographer has access to such interesting archives, and write what they find ! Charles Dickens for example, would never have divulged what he was up to ! Also Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson - quite an eye-opener ! I could go on.
At the moment I read a lot about the women at that time, not so much has been told about them.

You've read an interesting list, maybe one day I'll read one or two of them.... there's never enough time when you're retired !!
