What happened when creative biographers took on especially creative
subjects (poets, artists and others) in Greek and Roman antiquity?
Creative Lives in Classical Antiquity examines how the biographical
traditions of ancient poets and artists parallel the creative
processes of biographers themselves, both within antiquity and
beyond. Each chapter explores a range of biographical material that
highlights the complexity of how readers and viewers imagine the
lives of ancient creator-figures. Work in the last decades has
emphasized the likely fictionality of nearly all of the ancient
evidence about the lives of poets, as well as of other artists and
intellectuals; this book now sets out to show what we might
nevertheless still do with the rich surviving testimony for
'creative lives' - and the evidence that those traditions still
shape how we narrate modern lives too.
