Introduction to the contents of Biography
Biography is a genre with a long history, but today it is full of new vitality and is widely loved by the public. From the model biographies of classical times to the biographies of public figures today, the forms, rules and purposes of biographies have undergone various changes. An excellent introduction to the art of biography, this book Outlines the cultural and historical background of the different types of biography, the factors that influence the writing of biography, and explores the many controversies surrounding biography. How should biography be defined? Does a biography have to be true? Do biographers need to know their subjects personally? Do you need different strategies, ethics, and rules when writing for different people? In her book, biography researcher Ermiona Lee proposes a number of rules of our imaginary biography, and then breaks them one by one, leading us to approach the truth and essence of biography.
