Synopsis

The Biographical Turn showcases the latest research through which the field of biography is being explored. Chapters cover subjects such as gender, religion, race and microhistory, presenting biography as as a research methodology suited not only for historians but also for explorations in areas including literature studies, sociology, economics and politics.

International in scope, this book emphasizes that the individual can have a lasting impact on the past and that lives that are now forgotten can be as important for the historical narrative as the biographies of kings and presidents. It is a valuable resource for all students of biography, history and historical theory.
