The comparative range, the easy yet thorough familiarity with existing scholarship, and the remarkable degree to which Caitríona Ni? Dhu?ill anticipates and answers objections or responses to her argument, combine to produce an exciting, thoughtful, suggestive, and valuable intervention into the production and study of biography. The best book about biography I have read in many years." - Craig Howes, Director, Center for Biographical Research, Univerity of Hawai?i at M?noa, USA This book explores the contradictions of biography. It charts shifting approaches to the writing and reading of biographies, from post-hagiographical attitudes of the Enlightenment, heroic biographies of Romanticism and irreverent modernist portraits through to contemporary experiments in politically committed and hybrid forms of life writing. The book shows how biographical texts in fact destabilise the models of historical visibility, cultural prominence and narrative coherence that the genre itself seems to uphold. Addressing the fraught relationships between genre and gender, private and public, image and text, life and narrative that play out in the modern biographical tradition, Metabiography suggests new possibilities for reading, writing and thinking about this enduringly popular genre. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Life Writing,$x2730-9193 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y18th century 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 676 $a808.06692 676 $a809.93592 700 $aNí Dhúill$b Caitríona$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0879303 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483757403321 996 $aMetabiography$91963545 997 $aUNINA
