Covering the 18th to the 21st centuries, the reader includes programmatic texts by authors such as Herder, Carlyle, Dilthey, Proust, Freud, Kracauer, Woolf and Bourdieu. Each text is accompanied by a commentary placing its contribution in critical context. Ideal for use in undergraduate seminars, this reader may also be of interest for academic researchers in the areas of literary studies and history aiming to get an overview of historical questions in biographical theory. This revised and updated English language edition also includes new translations of texts by J. G. Herder and Stefan Zweig, as well as an introductory discussion on the possibility of a 'theory of biography'. Note: Due to copyright reasons, the chapter "Sade, Fourier, Loyola [Extract] (1971)" (pp. 175-177) by Roland Barthes could not be included in the ebook. 606 $aAuthors$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistory in literature 606 $aBiography as a literary form 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistory in literature. 615 0$aBiography as a literary form. 676 $a808.06692 686 $aEC 7419$2rvk 702 $aHemecker$b Wilhelm 702 $aSaunders$b Edward 702 $aSchima$b Gregor 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467917203321 996 $aBiography in theory$92096316 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01678nam 2200433 n 450 001 996390466503316 005 20200824120613.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000099909 035 $a(EEBO)2240893043 035 $a(UnM)99830808e 035 $a(UnM)99830808 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000099909 100 $a19950912d1679 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 00$a1.
