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.
