e/Confession album

Information
has gloss	eng: The confession album, or confession book, was a kind of autograph book popular in late nineteenth century Britain. Instead of leaving free room for invented or remembered poetry, it provided a formulaic catechism. The genre died out towards the end of the century, with occasional brief revivals in the twentieth century. The same kind of form is now found in the Dutch vriendenboek ("friends book") and German Freundschaftsbuch ("friendship book"), used by small children. And the questions that the confession album contained live on in the Proust Questionnaire often used for celebrity interviews. Questions The questions posed in a confession album varied from volume to volume. A typical set of questions, in a book from the 1860s, is given below along with the answers of one respondent (see picture, right).
