Intellectually brilliant, fearless and profound, he became a leading Victorian liberal thinker, whose works - including \u003ci\u003eOn Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUtilitarianism\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Subjection of Women \u003c\/i\u003eand this \u003ci\u003eAutobiography\u003c\/i\u003e - are among the crowning achievements of the age. Here he describes the pressures placed on him by his childhood, the mental breakdown he suffered as a young man, his struggle to understand a world of feelings and emotions far removed from his father's strict didacticism, and the later development of his own radical beliefs. A moving account of an extraordinary life, this great autobiography reveals a man of deep integrity, constantly searching for truth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

They married in 1851. \u003cb\u003eUtilitarianism \u003c\/b\u003ewas published in 1861 but before that Mill published his \u003cb\u003eSystem of Logic \u003c\/b\u003e(1843), \u003cb\u003ePrinciples of Political Economy \u003c\/b\u003e(1848) and \u003cb\u003eOn Liberty \u003c\/b\u003e(1839).
