 Nothing indeed was ever said by the artist himself
about his state of mind until the eighteenth century
perhaps. Rousseau perhaps began it (Confessions,
published posthumously). At any rate, by the
nineteenth century self-consciousness had developed so
far that it was the habit of men of letters to
describe their minds in confessions and
autobiographies. Their lives were also written, and
their letters were printed after their deaths.

--Woolf
