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 $aBiography as a literary form 615 0$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 $a9910816457803321 996 $aBiography in theory$94076299 997 $aUNINA
