Marrying life-writing with classical reception, this book examines
ancient biography and its impact on subsequent ages. Close readings
of ancient texts are framed by an assessment of their influence on
the age of the French Revolution and Napoleon, and on the
nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, of responses to
ancient biography of modern critics, and of its visible legacy in
art and film. Crucially it asks what modern biographers can learn
from their ancient predecessors. Are the challenges involved in
life-writing still the same? Have working methods changed, and in
what ways? What in the context of biographical writing is truth,
and how are its interests best served? How is it possible, now as
then, honestly to convey a life?
