In Collaboration with British Literary Biography : Haunting Conversations

This book is about one person’s reading and what has been learnt about how the lives of other people, particularly authors, have been written in British literary biographies over the last fifty years. It is less interested in what happened in the lives of the people described in these biographies, and more concerned with how these stories have been told. It aims to have a conversation with British biographers, particularly Michael Holroyd, Richard Holmes, Hermione Lee and Claire Tomalin, to make their voices heard, to set them talking. It understands biography as an ongoing collaboration, not only between biographers and their subjects, but between biographers and their readers. This is also a study of haunting, in which we haunt the lives of others to help us come to a better understanding of our own.Author: McVeigh, Jane,author Contributors: McVeigh, Jane,author Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017 Published/Release Date: 17 May 2018 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Springer International Publishing AG Author/Director/Artist: Jane McVeigh Dimension (cm): 210x148x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x210x148 mm Item Weight (g): 277 Package Weight (g): 3003
