University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from University Library of Autobiography: Including All the Great Autobiographies and the Autobiographical Data Left by the World's Famous Men and Women
When the ancient world of Rome and Greece was overthrown by the Teutonic barbarians, all the arts, all the culture of life, sank into darkness. To that dim period of over five centuries preceding the year 1000, we now give the name of the Dark Ages. During all those shadowy centuries, auto biography, the subtlest and most introspective of the arts, seems wholly to have disappeared. The wonderful Goufes sions of Saint Augustine created no school, was imitated by no successors until, some six hundred years having passed, we begin to trace the rising culture of the Middle Ages. We then find the first autobiographical successors of Saint Augus tine not among Christians, nor even among Europeans, but among the Arabic scholars of the Mohammedan empire.
