Biofiction: An Introduction provides readers with the history,
origins, evolution, and legitimization of biofiction, suggesting
potential lines of inquiry, exploring criticisms of the literary
form, and modeling the process of analyzing and interpreting
individual texts. Written for undergraduate and graduate students,
this volume combines comprehensive coverage of the core foundations
of biofiction with contemporary and lively debates within the
subject. The volume aims to confront and illuminate the following
questions: * When did biofiction come into being? * What forces
gave birth to it? * How does it uniquely function and signify? *
Why has it become such a dominant aesthetic form in recent years?
This introduction will give readers a framework for evaluating
specific biofictions from writers as varied as Friedrich Nietzsche,
George Moore, Zora Neale Hurston, William Styron, Angela Carter,
Joyce Carol Oates, and Colm Toibin, thus enabling readers to assess
the value and impact of individual works on the culture at large.
Spanning nineteenth-century origins to contemporary debates and
adaptations, this book not only equips the reader with a firm
grounding in the fundamentals of biofiction but also provides a
valuable guide to the uncanny power of the biographical novel to
transform cultural attitudes, perspectives, and beliefs.
