- Description
- This book is an investigation of the biases, contradictions, errors and historical contexts in biographies of British women who published during the long nineteenth century, many of them left unchecked and perpetuated from publication to publication. Fourteen scholars analyze the problems and strengths of biographical material, highlighting the deficiencies and influences that have distorted the portraits of women such as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Hays, Sydney Owenson, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Felicia Hemans, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Caroline Norton, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charlotte Brontë, Lady Florence Dixie, George Eliot and Edith Simcox. This study demonstrates that biographies are often more about the biographer than they are about the biographee and that they are products of the time in which they are written.
