Sinopsis

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklináis a classic American history biography, political biography the traditional name for the unfinished autobiography of Benjamin Franklináfrom 1771 to 1790, however, Franklin appears to have called the work hisáMemoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after FranklinâÇÖs death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of anáautobiographyáever written.FranklinâÇÖs account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods during which he wrote them. There are actual breaks between the first three parts of the narrative, but Part ThreeâÇÖs narrative continues into Part Four without an authorial break.In the 'Introduction' of the 1916 publication of theáAutobiography, editor F. W. Pine wrote that FranklinâÇÖs biography provided the 'most remarkable of all the remarkable histories of ouráself-made men' with Franklin as the greatest exemplar.
