IN COLLABORATION WITH BRITISH LITERARY BIOGRAPH...

This book is about one person's reading and what has been learnt about how the lives of other
people  particularly authors  have been written in British literary biographies over the last
fifty years. It is less interested in what happened in the lives of the people described in
these biographies  and more concerned with how these stories have been told. It aims to have a
conversation with British biographers  particularly Michael Holroyd  Richard Holmes  Hermione
Lee and Claire Tomalin  to make their voices heard  to set them talking. It understands
biography as an ongoing collaboration  not only between biographers and their subjects  but
between biographers and their readers. This is also a study of haunting  in which we haunt the
lives of others to help us come to a better understanding of our own.
