The article presents a research guide to the life and works of author Thomas Merton. He was born on January 31, 1915 in Prades, Eastern Pyrenees, France. Merton earned a master's degree at Columbia University in 1939. In 1944 Merton published his first collection, Thirty Poems. He became an ordained priest in 1949. Where the wide range of Merton's talent as a writer was probably most concentrated in his skills as an autobiographer, he himself attracted early and unusual popularity as a subject for thesis writers and biographers. Anthony T. Padovano sought the spiritual and philosophic patterns in Merton's life in The Human Journey--Thomas Merton: Symbol of a Century. In addition to writing a best-selling account of his first thirty years, The Seven Storey Mountain, Merton included an autobiographical element in the greater part of his published work. The strictly autobiographical line continues with The Sign of Jonas, The Secular Journal, and Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander.
