Summary/Abstract: The Author discusses three autobiographical dictionaries (two of them are autobiographical in a strict sense of the term, the third one bares a visibly autobiographical approach), each representing a different language as well as founded on various methodological approaches. According to him despite the differences they all prove the ever growing influence of autobiography on both literature and on our everyday experience. The former – the Author concludes – evidences additionally that viewing autobiography as a uniquely a literary term is far too narrow a category.
