Subject Description

The candidates range from St Augustine to the twentieth century, and include major contributors to all periods of historical writing and from most countries. The only criterion is that the autobiographers be also historians, so that we can compare their presentation of themselves and that of others.

Assessment

Written work totalling 5000 words.
