This "Very Short Introduction", written by a leading literary biographer, explains what biography does and how its works. It asks why we are so fascinated by the lives others, and what we expect when we come to read biography. It looks at biography's ethics, tactics, and challenges. It deals with many different kinds of biographical writing, from saints' lives and gossipy anecdotal writing to modernist experiments, psychobiographies, popular and public life stories. It asks whether biography is a branch of history or a branch of fiction, low voyeurism or moral education. At it finds some of the same key questions about value and purpose persisting in biography over many centuries.
