To date, little serious attention has been given to the light biographies can shed on philosophical problems such as the ways in which we can understand lives or terms like 'the self'. This book explores the double-edge nature of biography, looking at what it reveals about both narratives and selves.
Industry Reviews
...this is an essential work for anyone interested in biography and the self. (David McCooey, Biography)
...Tridgell's book...defends with great success the possibilities of biography as a route to the truth about human beings. It will be an essential resource for the literary discussion of biography, which is surely due for the renaissance that biographies themselves have achieved. (James Franklin, API Review of Books)
