"The Autobiography of Arthur Young: With Selections from His Correspondence," edited by M. Betham-Edwards, is a historical autobiography written in the late 19th century. It chronicles the life and thoughts of Arthur Young, an agricultural reformer and traveler known for his contributions to the field of agriculture and his insights on various socio-economic issues of his time. The work delves into his experiences, challenges, and relationships, offering a unique view into both his personal life and the changing agricultural landscape of 18th-century England. At the start of the autobiography, Young introduces the context of his upbringing, including details about his ancestry and family, while also reflecting on key events in his early life. He discusses his education, his father's influence, and the early challenges he faced, including financial difficulties and family losses. The opening chapters set the stage for Young's burgeoning interest in agriculture, informed by his early observations and experiences, and provide insights into his character as he navigates the societal and personal struggles of his time. This autobiographical account promises a rich exploration of not only Young's life but also the historical context surrounding agriculture during a transformative period in England.
