Paperback. Condition: New. 2. enlarged edition. A good biography is a well-staged illusion. It creates - on paper - a vivid, rounded, and immediate sense of lived life. In contrast to purely fictional forms, biography writing does not allow total freedom to the biographer in the creative act. Ideally, a biography's backbone is f…ormed by accurate historical facts. But its soul lies elsewhere. Since the concern is life, something more is needed: Nothing dry, cold or dead, but a vibrant impression of life that is left in the air after one turns over the last page. But how does a biographer do it? The way a biographer creates a subject is largely dictated by the historical distance between them. There are three types of distance in biographical writing: First, where the biographer and the subject personally know one another; second, where the biographer is a near contemporary of the subject; and third, where biographer and subject are distinctly separated, in some cases, by hundreds of years. This study explores how some of the most accomplished biographers manage to recreate life" across time and space. She closely examines Samuel Johnson's Life of Mr. Richard Savage, James Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians, Michael Holroyd's Lytton Strachey, Park Honan's Jane Austen, and Andrew Motion's Keats.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The dynamic between the biographer and the subject is, perhaps, one of the most fascinating aspects of biography as a genre. How does the biographer stage the illusion that is the narrative life, the illusion that the subject assumes a living form through words In contrast to purely fiction…al forms, biography writing does not allow total freedom to the biographer in this creative act. Ideally, a biography`s backbone is structured by accurate historical facts. But its spirit lies elsewhere.The way a biographer captures the spirit of a subject is intriguingly shaped by the historical distance between the two. We find three types of distance in biographical narrative: First, where the biographer and the subject personally know one another; second, where the biographer is a near contemporary of the subject; and third, where biographer and subject are distinctly separated; in some cases, by hundreds of years.In this revised and expanded edition, Rana Tekcan explores how some of the most accomplished biographers manage to recreate 'life' across time and space. She looks at their illusionary art through the narrative strategies in Samuel Johnson`s Life of Savage, James Boswell`s Life of Johnson, Lytton Strachey`s Eminent Victorians, Michael Holroyd`s Lytton Strachey, Park Honan`s Jane Austen, and Andrew Motion`s Keats.
