Reviews
Biography and History is succinct, thoughtful, addresses the right sort of issues and is readable and stimulating for students. This new edition is a fresh but subtle revision, that brings themes up to date, reflects on trends, and some important shifts which have taken place since the first edition. * Deborah Leigh Simonton, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark * Barbara Caine explores biography's relations with history in a study which covers major topics and authors: informed, lucid and thoughtful, she provides a digest of key ideas and raises important new questions about how individual lives are being read as history. * Clare Brant, King's College London, UK * Barbara Caine's admirably clear and concise book is both a stimulating analysis of the relationship between biography, on the one hand, and history and autobiography, on the other, and a manifesto for the importance of the individual life history as a genre. * Jeremy Popkin, University of Kentucky, USA *
