It focuses especially on the various related strands of political, philosophical, and intellectual and cultural biography as well as on the intersection between biography, historiography, and philosophy. Individual texts from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century are presented as examples of how the ancient collective biographical tradition ? as represented above all by Plutarch, Suetonius, Diogenes Laertius, and Jerome ? was received and transformed in the Renaissance and beyond in accordance with the needs of humanism, religious controversy, politics, and the development of modern philosophy and science. 410 0$aThe Renaissance Society of America$v7. 606 $aBiography$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aHistoriography$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aBiography$xPhilosophy 606 $aHistoriography$xPhilosophy 606 $aBiography$yTo 500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBiography as a literary form$xHistory 606 $aEuropean literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aBiography$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aHistoriography$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aBiography$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHistoriography$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aBiography$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBiography as a literary form$xHistory. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a940.252 702 $aBaker$b Patrick 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792897403321 996 $aBiography, historiography, and modes of philosophizing$93775214 997 $aUNINA
