He examines the evolution of the myths that have overshadowed certain lives (Percy Shelley's death at sea, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's opium-fueled lectures), and reveals how the manner in which each generation tells the stories of the lives that came before it shapes and is shaped by a contemporary understanding of human nature. These portraits are deftly woven with Holmes' own experience as a biographer. A spellbinding examination of the nature of biographical knowledge, brimming with the infectious curiosity of Holmes' catalog. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Holmes, Richard,|d1945- 650 0 Authors, English|xBiography|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Authors|xBiography|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Biographers|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Biography as a literary form. 700 1 Armstrong, Charles,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11846712?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ dsa_9781520066912_180.jpeg
