| 书目名称 | Towards a Poetics of Literary Biography | | 编辑 | Michael Benton | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Drawing upon a wide range of biographies of literary subjects, from Shakespeare and Wordsworth to William Golding and V.S. Naipaul, this book develops a poetics of literary biography based on the triangular relationships of lives, works and times and how narrative operates in holding them together. Biography is seen as a hybrid genre in which historical and fictional elements are imaginatively combined. It considers the roles of story-telling, factual data in the art of life-writing, and the literariness of its language. It includes a case study of the biography of Ellen Terry, discussion of the controversial relationship between a subject‘s life and works, ‘biographical criticism‘ and, through the issue of gender, the social and cultural changes biographies reflect. It frames a poetics on the basis of its strategy and tactics and demonstrates how the literal truth of verifiable data and the poetic truth of what is narrated are interdependent. | | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | | 关键词 | bibliography; biography; Narrative; poetics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137549587 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-54958-7 | | copyright | Michael Benton 2015 |
