Biography is one of the most popular, best-selling, and widely-read
of literary genres. But why do certain people and historical events
arouse so much interest? How can biographies be compared with
history and works of fiction? Does a biography need to be true? Is
it acceptable to omit or conceal things? Does the biographer need
to personally know the subject? Must a biographer be subjective? In
this Very Short Introduction Hermione Lee considers the cultural
and historical background of different types of biographies,
looking at the factors that affect biographers and whether there
are different strategies, ethics, and principles required for
writing about one person compared to another. She also considers
contemporary biographical publications and considers what kind of
'lives' are the most popular and in demand., ABOUT THE SERIES: The
Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press
contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These
pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
