Biofictions
About this book
The starting point for this collection of essays is the observation that as a literary subject, fictionalized and dramatized "lives" in the form of fictional biographies/biographical fiction, bio-dramas, and bio-pics are very much in evidence on the contemporary scene. And it appears that the lives of the British Romantics and the myths surrounding them have a special appeal for contemporary writers.
Biofictions sets out to explore this renewed interest in Romantic artist-figures in the context of the current renaissance of "life-writing."
