Biographies and Autobiographies Primary Resources

What are a Biography and Autobiography? 

A biography is a detailed description of a person's life with facts, background information and stories from their life. Often featured in biographies are famous people including actors, politicians and sports figures. 

The difference between a biography and autobiography is that an autobiography is actually written by that particular famous person, whereas a biography is written by someone else on their behalf.
