摘要註: |
This book traces the development of literary biographyin the eighteenth century; how writers' melancholy was probed to explore the innerlife. Case studies of a number of significant authors reveal the 1790s as a time ofbiographical experimentation. Reaction against philosophical biography led to anineteenth-century taste for romanticized lives. |
