Definition
Relating to or characteristic of autobiography; written or told by a person about their own life story, or relating to an autobiography.
Etymology
From autobiography (auto- 'self' + bio- 'life' + graphia 'writing') + -ical suffix. The adjectival form has been used since the 18th century in literary criticism.
Kelly Says
Shakespeare wrote no autobiographies, yet we call his sonnets 'autographical' because we assume they're about him—the word reveals how desperately readers want to believe artists are writing about themselves.
