In recent years, the biographical novel has become one of the most
dominant literary forms-J.M. Coetzee, Margaret Atwood, Hilary
Mantel, Colum McCann, Anne Enright, Joyce Carol Oates, Peter Carey,
Russell Banks, and Julia Alvarez are just a few luminaries who have
published stellar biographical novels. But why did this genre come
into being mainly in the 20th century? Is it ethical to invent
stories about an actual historical figure? What is biofiction
uniquely capable of signifying? Why are so many prominent writers
now authoring such works? And why are they winning such major
awards? In Biographical Fiction: A Reader, some of the finest
scholars and writers of biofiction clarify what led to the rise of
this genre, reflect on its nature and form, and specify what it is
uniquely capable of doing. Combining primary and critical material,
this accessible reader will be invaluable to students, teachers,
and scholars of biofiction.
