Abstract:
Johannesburg author, essayist, and editor Ivan Vladislavić has a longstanding interest in art, an interest richly recorded in his literary corpus. Since publishing his debut work of fiction, Missing Persons (1989), Vladislavić has repeatedly dwelled on artworks in his fiction and non-fiction writing. His literary corpus is studded with descriptions of paintings, sculptures, photographs, ceremonial statues, murals, and other, more obscure pieces of urban flotsam given their own artistic agency in his fecund imagination. This article discusses his interest and entanglement in art from a threefol

Abstract:
The author discusses the problem of biography as a literary genre, as well as biographics as a form of (popular-)scientific writing. Among the analysed examples there are texts of: J. Le Goff, J. M. Rymkiewicz,J. Barker, A. Buisine, G.D. Painter and others. In conclusions the author suggests that the biography will remain selection-editorial-reduction, a form of simplification or pigeonholing. Hence, it is impossible to avoid the dilemma of whether it is to be a scientific, literary or popular work, whether to prefer the spirit or the letter of fact.

Abstract:
The article was written to illustrate the difficulties we encounter when at­tempting to convey the biography of Aelred, a famous 12th century English abbot of Rievaulx. The difficulties are linked with the fact that Aelred lived in medieval times and his biography was written in the form of a hagiography. This style of writing was very popular in the middle ages and usually served to emphasize the holiness of a person’s life, i.e. to demonstrate an exemplary life of Christian vir­tues rather than as an attempt to concentrate on biographical details.

In this thesis, I have studied the elements that distinguish the biography as a literary genre. After analysing the different facets involved in the making of a biography, I have applied some theories to practical use. I chose a subject, became acquainted with the facts of this person's life, found the ideal form and produced on paper the life of a real human being. I chose to write a biography on Odelie Brisebois, a very loving and humble woman. Her seventy-seven years encompasses a period of Quebec history and life style that we will never see again.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter analyses the effects on political publishing of the party and state authorities’ urgent concerns about the language and form of Soviet propaganda, which emerged very soon after Stalin’s death, lasted throughout the post-Stalin period, and targeted Politizdat as political literature’s main producer. This major drive for more engaging propaganda gave rise, in the 1950s and 1960s, to unprecedented critique of the language of Politizdat’s previous publications, and then to the embrace of biography as the most lively and effective form of propaganda. The creation of the ‘Fiery Revolutionaries’ series initiated a large-scale, long-term experiment with the biography genre and with literary collaboration to revitalize political literature’s popular appeal: it was intended to produce evocative and emotionally involving portraits of a huge gallery of ‘revolutionaries’. The last part of this chapter traces the early, embattled years of the series between its creation in 1964 and its launch in 1968, the same year as the party’s ideological crackdown connected to the intervention in Czechoslovakia.

Abstract:
Russian Formalist theory argued that biography should be studied scientifically as the history of form, rather than as a history of personalities, ideas, or content. In other words, the study of literature is not philosophy, sociology, theology, or mythology, but an exact science of the primary matter of text: the word, the language, the speech, and the stylistic device. Biographies of authors were thought of as belonging to the separate ‘series’ parallel to the evolution of literature. However, in practice, the lives and times of the writers were often found not so much to run parallel to as to be contingent upon the texts they produce, in a way that made it increasingly difficult to preserve the clinical purity of the ‘science’ of literature. Hence, to deal with this, Formalists formulated new terms such as ‘literary facts’ and ‘literary milieu’. This chapter discusses Yury Tynyanov, who sought to distinguish his books about the writers' lives from his ‘scientific’ works of theory and research by writing them in the form of novels that were closely associated with film scenarios and historical fiction. It examines his Pushkin, an unfinished biography that culminated his achievements and which marked the beginning of the merging of literary-historical research, biography, and fiction.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that Salomé Ureña’s canonization through the twentieth century required various forms of ghosting. The first half of the chapter traces her commemoration in sculpture, imagery, and biography to show how her celebration as a national icon relied both on her phenotypical whitening and on the elision of some of the strongest desires expressed in her work. The second half of the chapter examines writings about Ureña by two twenty-first century feminist and diasporic Dominican women writers, Julia Alvarez and Chiqui Vicioso. Through close reading analysis and a black diasporic feminist lens, the chapter proposes that feminist and critical race theories, the increase in Dominican literacy rates, and the growth of a diasporic Dominican community with a different vocabulary of race allow Alvarez’s and Vicioso’s recuperative texts to compete with other dominant narratives. Their portrayals model narratives of belonging in which women and nonwhite subjects can be legible as full subjects with myriad desires.

Full text
Abstract:
Lytton Strachey in 1918 suggested that English biography had found its true calling as the most delicate and humane of all the branches of the art of writing. Three generations later, the form has expanded, gained a new broad readership, and achieved intellectual authority. Biography has been called the ‘true art of writing’ and a humanist discipline. It has been hailed as the proper study of mankind. While biography was becoming a recognized art of writing, its value and nature remained a contested issue. In the early days, a biography was primarily a maverick and unacademic form of writing. Academia too was not keen to recognize biography, particularly as a literary genre. It has constantly assaulted the form of biography as trivial, exploitative, fictive, and a corrupter of pure texts and of scholarly morals. And more importantly, a biography was deemed as devoid of serious poetics, post-Aristotelian regulations, and subjective. This chapter examines whether biography is an art and discipline that can be taught and evaluates whether life-writing can be a proper subject for an academic course. It examines the possible contents, aims, and benefits if biography was to be considered as a university subject, including the grounds that would claim biography as a genuine humanist discipline.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the afterlife and reception of Greville’s poetry from Coleridge and Charles Lamb to the American school of literary criticism around Yvor Winters, arguing how Greville’s reputation for obscurity has tended to circumscribe and limit his appreciation as a poet. In discussing the various genres that comprise Greville’s oeuvre; lyric sequence; political biography; letter of consolation; closet drama and philosophical poem, the editors propose to view Greville’s obscurity as an intellectual resource that arises from the close intersection between political and religious thought and poetic form, which enables a form of philosophical exploration that works through the examination of doubt, contradiction, and paradox, as much as assertion, and which involves the reader in an exercise in critical interpretation.

Full text
Abstract:
The dominance of modernist and avant-garde literature in the early decades of the twentieth century directed attention away from certain texts and genres. Biography was one of the genres that underwent transformation. In the 1920s and 1930s, it took new forms, which gave rise to an unprecedented popularity of life-writing. This rise in the popularity of biographies was linked to the perception that they had been reinvented, requiring a new level of critical self-awareness. This chapter discusses biographical theory and practice in the early twentieth century. This biographical dimension crossed national boundaries wherein common biographical tenets were developed. In this period, the concept of ‘new biography’ proliferated. This new concept of biographies was grounded on the relationship between the literary and the scientific, and the importance of the study of the character. In the chapter, the tenets and characteristics of the ‘new biography’ and the ‘new biographers’ are considered. It examines the new equality between the biographer and the subject; the brevity, selection, and attention to the form and unity associated with fiction; the development of central motifs in a life and of a key to personality; and the focus on the character rather than the events.

Abstract:
The essay offers a reading of Luis Cernuda's intellectual biography, "Historial de un libro" (Chronicle of a Book), a travelogue where the author traces the routes through which his poetry was generated. In the chronicle life and poetry unfold in tandem and refract under mutual illumination. Cernuda's response to the voices with which he meets on his way from Spain to the New World forges a poetics of crossings, while it extends bridges between physical, metaphorical, and discursive territories. From a temporal and spatial point of view beyond the end of the journey, life and art form a horizon towards which the traveler is headed and on which, at the end, the poet inscribes his diaspora across countries and continents as translation and interpretation of a poetic continuum made of lived experience, literary depiction, and critical reading.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Kīrttilatā, a political biography of a Mithila prince, composed in Avahaṭṭha, a register of Apabhraṃśa. It locates the text within the larger literary traditions of Sanskrit, Persian, and Apabhraṃśa vis-à-vis language, genre, narrative structure as well as political ideals. Its language is marked by a large number of both Sanskrit and Persian words, a practice that signals a deeper, if less visible, move towards a politico-ideological mutation. The chapter demonstrates that at the core of the ideals of Kīrttilatā was the aspiration for an imperial formation with universal claims, majestic courts and supreme authority. Clearly, the age-old Sanskritic ideal of rājyam was not forsaken in the middle of the ‘vernacular’ century. Rather, it found a renewed articulation in a reworked form in a language that was, according to Vidyapati ‘sweet to all’.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter discusses Jean Sartre's approach to writing biographies. As a biographer, Sartre embraces the paradox of an attempted, yet always impossible, totalization of the fragmentary, and acknowledges the extent to which he is implicated in the story he tells. His biographical purpose is innovatory compared to the norms of French biography in the twentieth century. Sartre's approach is epistemological, critical, and political rather than literary. His method involves historical and psychological interpretation. Although Sartre's biographies are not consistent in format and approach, they nevertheless are all examples of existentialist psychoanalysis and of the progressive–regressive method. In all cases, he is concerned to conceive human life as a totality rather than as a collection of disparate data, and to interpret attitudes, events, and projects as part of the chosen destiny rather than as accidental phenomenon. In this sense, all the biographies form part of Sartre's epistemological enquiry into the relations between man and nature, and his ethical exploration of nature and of freedom.
