Biography: An Historiography
Melanie Nolan
Biography: An historiography examines how Western historians have used biography since the 19th century to the present - considering the problems and challenges that historians have faced in their biographical practice systematically. This volume analyses the strategies and methods that historians have used in response to seven major issues identified over time to do with evidence including but not limited the problem of causation, the problem of fact and fiction, the problem of other minds, problem of significance or representativeness, the problems of perspective both macro and micro, and the problem of subjectivity and relative truth. This volume will be essential for to postgraduates and historians studying biography.
