Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the concept of biography, a genre that emerged out of historical chronicles and became the new literary form of choice for narrating the stories of great men during the first century of the Roman Empire. The author argues that the shift towards biography was not simply a matter of style, but a change of worldview: a shift away from collective history towards a focus on the importance of the individual in shaping their world. The author traces the Roman biographical tradition back to its Greek roots, then discusses how the Roman writer Suetonius expanded the genre with his series of detailed imperial biographies. The author also examines the influence of Suetonius and his contemporaries on later biographical writing. Ultimately, this book is an in-depth look at the evolution of biography as a literary genre, and provides valuable insight into how the idea of the individual developed in the ancient world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
