|a "Written by a practicing biographer and author of more than a dozen books, its encyclopedic presentation makes it suitable for reading by the minute or by the hour. No aspect of biography, from A to Z, is without comment: authorized and unauthorized biography, censorship, libel, interviews, fair use, and a great deal more - with many specific examples drawn from biographical writings as well as assessments of the biographer's art." "Mr. Rollyson demonstrates that biography has many more dimensions than can be grasped from book reviews and academic discourse. He argues with other biographers and critics, avoiding the usual polite tones of reference books. He also considers novels that have treated the subject of biography and biographers, fictions that seem especially vital because they reveal the nature of the biographical enterprise in ways that biographers themselves often fail to address." "While the focus of biography is on the subject, half the story is, of course, who's telling it. Here Mr. Rollyson is illuminating in showing how biographers bring their own ideas to someone else's life. His central theme throughout the book is why biography matters, and how it has come to mean such different things in the history of Western culture."--BOOK JACKET.
