He then considers the development of less traditional biographical types and analyses the emergence of a 'new biography, ' concerned essentially with individuality and with private as well as public life."--Jacket. 330 1 $a"Although biography is one of today's most flourishing literary genres, its early history has attracted much less attention than that of other forms, a neglect that is especially apparent in the case of the formative period of English biography, the seventeenth century. This new work by Allan Pritchard fills the scholarly void by providing a wide-ranging and comprehensive survey of this period's biographical writings." 606 $aBiography as a literary form 607 $aEngland$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiography as a literary form. 676 $a820.9/4920042/09032 700 $aPritchard$b Allan$0879615 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780692403321 996 $aEnglish biography in the seventeenth century$93731270 997 $aUNINA
