The claim that Rousseau's autobiography initiated the modern autobiography is dubious[edit]

Benvenuto Cellini, Girolamo Cardano, and Casanova, wrote secular autobiographies many years before him.--213.202.162.113 (talk) 17:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's not exactly the point, or the claim in the article. However, it is problematic that this article is so underdeveloped, so lacking in citations. Drmies (talk) 17:13, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First English edition - date correction?[edit]

A two-volume abridged English edition was published in London, and an even shorter single-volume edition was published in Dublin, both in 1783. As far as I know, the first complete English translation was published in London in 1903. Beeflin (talk) 19:52, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
