Metabiography
Reflecting on Biography

This book explores the contradictions of biography. It charts shifting approaches to the writing and reading of biographies, from post-hagiographical attitudes of the Enlightenment, heroic biographies of Romanticism and irreverent modernist portraits through to contemporary experiments in politically committed and hybrid forms of life writing. The book shows how biographical texts in fact destabilise the models of historical visibility, cultural prominence and narrative coherence that the genre itself seems to uphold. Addressing the fraught relationships between genre and gender, private and public, image and text, life and narrative that play out in the modern biographical tradition, Metabiography suggests new possibilities for reading, writing and thinking about this enduringly popular genre.

Table contents:

1. Introducing Metabiography
2. Approaching the Master: Gender, Genre, and Biographical Tradition
3. Reading the Hero: Biography and Self-Transformation from Carlyle’s On Heroes to Bertram’s Nietzsche
4. Rethinking the Protagonist: Subaltern Narrators and Biographical Fictions
5. Digesting the Material: Narrative’s Efforts to Assimilate Life
6. Medial Envy: Image-Text Relations in Biography
7. Inscribing Absence: Missed Targets and Missing Subjects in Anti- and Pseudobiography
8. Gendered Narratives: ‘She’, ‘He’, and Their Discontents in Biography
